Prepare Your Home’s AC System Without Breaking the Bank

There are a few things you can do yourself to prepare your central air conditioner for the hot Mansfield, TX, summer. Performing these AC system maintenance tasks yourself will save money so that you don’t break the bank:

Change the Air Filter

First, change your central air conditioner’s air filter. Air filters get clogged with dust and dirt, which hinders airflow and makes your AC system work too hard. Your air conditioner already works hard in the summer, and you don’t want it to work harder and cause a problem. Changing the air filter will also help reduce allergens circulating through your home.

Clean Your Exterior AC Unit

Clean your exterior unit by using your hose to spray off any dirt, leaves or grass. You can purchase a coil cleaner that will foam up while it’s cleaning and spray that off with a hose as well. It gets quite dusty in the Mansfield, so this will help prevent more expensive problems. Be sure to trim bushes, grass, trees, and weeds away from the exterior central air conditioner.

Schedule AC Maintenance

A central air conditioner works hard to provide cold air at a moment’s notice. A clean system won’t have to run as often, which will help you save energy and money. It’s good for the environment and your pocketbook. Scheduling AC maintenance will also help you save by reducing your risk to costly breakdowns and repairs.

A dirty central air conditioning system may cause the unit to freeze up or have other problems, which could mean more expensive repairs. This will also save you money on repairs and early replacement costs. Contact us today to schedule your spring AC maintenance service right away. We look forward to preparing your air conditioner and home for the hotter months ahead.
