Air Conditioner Maintenance Tips

Clean/Replace Your Filters:

  • Open the Unit: Lift the front panel of the indoor unit.
  • Remove the Filter: Grip the tab on the end of the filter, push it up slightly, then pull it towards yourself. Pull down to extract the filter(s) behind the front panel.
  • Detach Air Freshening Filter (if applicable): Unclip the small air freshening filter from the larger filter.
  • Clean the Air Freshening Filter: Use a hand-held vacuum to remove dust and debris.
  • Wash the Main Filter: Clean the large air filter with warm, soapy water (mild dish soap works best).
  • Rinse and Dry: Rinse the back of the filter with fresh water, shake off excess water, and dry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Reassemble: Once dry, re-clip the air freshening filter to the larger filter.
  • Reinstall the Filter: Slide the filter back into the indoor unit.
  • Close the Panel: Secure the front panel of the indoor unit.

Remove Debris From Your AC:

  1. Check for Debris: Remove dirt, leaves, and branches that may reduce efficiency.
  2. Maintain Clearance: Keep plants at a distance to prevent airflow blockage.
  3. Clear Weeds: Remove any growth between the unit and your home.

Schedule Annual AC Maintenance:

  • Extend Unit Lifespan: Regular maintenance helps prevent major issues and costly repairs.
  • Best Time to Schedule: Spring is ideal before heavy summer use.
  • What Technicians Check: Duct seals, refrigerant levels, belt tightness, airflow, electric terminals, etc.
  • Professional Inspection: Experts can spot problems early to keep your AC running efficiently.

Run Ceiling Fans:

  • Improve Air Circulation: Helps distribute cool air more efficiently.
  • Reduce AC Strain: Allows you to set the thermostat higher without sacrificing comfort.
  • Adjust Fan Direction: In summer, set fans to rotate counterclockwise for a cooling effect.

Cover Your AC Unit for the Winter:

  • Check Manufacturer Guidelines: Ensure covering is safe for your AC model.
  • Protect from Harsh Weather: Covers help shield units from heavy snow and rain.
  • Prevent Damage: Adds extra protection, especially in extreme climates.

Phil came in today and provided excellent maintenance on our heating and AC system. Although Phil was only here for a little while, he was thorough and friendly the entire time. I give Phil 5 stars because that's what he deserves—if I could give him 6 stars, I would!

We had an excellent experience with Able Air Conditioning from start to finish! From the initial conversations and booking the AC installation to delivery and the installation itself, everything went smoothly and exactly as promised. The service was top-notch throughout, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend!
