Booking regular AC maintenance is worth the effort.
Checkups keep your air conditioner unit in Livermore working at its top performance while keeping utility needs low. It also could even help lengthen its life expectancy.
While there are several things you can do on your own, you should call the Experts, like the ones at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, for AC checks and service.
Here are a couple steps you can do on your own as you get ready for cooling season.
Get Your AC Service Booked
Spring is a season of revival, and to many that involves a hefty portion of house, garage and yard sprucing. With the warmer temps approaching, it’s also a good idea to include AC service on that list.
Spring is a great time of year to get your cooling unit freshened and checked out. Hesitating to turn it on until the first hot day of the summer can be dicey. If you have to schedule service or replacement, you might be waiting awhile for a tech. And that might become extremely unbearable.
And for allergy sufferers, being ahead of the game with a fresh cooling system will help provide the best indoor air quality during pollen season.
Additionally, air conditioning service may be a requirement for your unit’s manufacturer warranty or any applicable extended warranty.
Can I Complete a Tune-Up Myself?
There are procedures that you can take to help keep your AC unit in the ultimate condition:
- Replace your air filter recommends each month or two. This is especially necessary if you suffer from allergies or have a dog in your home.
- Lawn work near the outside condenser. Check there’s not any grass, weeds or bushes near your cooling unit. We recommend keeping 2–3 feet of clear area. You should also get rid of any leaves or twigs that have fallen into your equipment, since this might impede airflow.
