Preparing Your A/C for Spring

 As our area starts to warm up and shake off the weather of the winter, there's never a better time to start making a plan for preparing your A/C for the warmer temperatures of spring and summer. Here are a couple of things you should consider when preparing to flip the switch in your home from heating to cooling! 

Cleaning your air filter in your home system is very important at the beginning of the cooling season. Regular air filter maintenance can help your A/C run efficiently by reducing the amount of dirt and dust that makes your system run harder than necessary, therefore increasing energy consumption and prices. Cleaning the filter also helps you ensure that the air being pumped into your home is as clean and clear of contaminants that can harm your health as possible.

Checking the air ducts running through your home is also important as it can ensure there are not any unwanted obstructions or leaks that allow conditioned air to be released into your home in places that you don't need it the most. Luckily, ducts can be easily checked by a professional HVAC technician to guarantee your home is being cooled efficiently and in the desired areas. 

Another thing that can help you prepare for spring is installing a new thermostat for your home. If thermostats are faulty, they usually will fail at the beginning of spring as you switch back to cooling after a winter of disuse. Upgrading your thermostat to a new model can help make sure that doesn't happen by getting a brand new, state-of-the-art addition to your home HVAC system!
