Cooler Days Are For A/C Maintenance

As the weather starts to cool down, you may be thinking about turning off your air conditioner and opening the doors, letting some fresh air indoors. It's also the ideal time to get your HVAC system checked and maintained after a long hot summer. First, check for any leaks or damage that may have occurred over the summer. Even small cracks can lead to big problems down the road. Second, clean the AC unit itself, including the coils and filters. This will help it run more efficiently and prevent any buildup of dirt and dust. Finally, take a look at your air ducts and make sure they're in good condition. These simple steps will help your AC unit last longer and run more efficiently - and you'll be glad you did when you don't have to deal with a broken AC unit in the middle of summer!

A professional HVAC contractor can ensure that your system is ready for winter by performing a few key tasks.
