Here’s How To Get Your Air Conditioning Ready For The Summer

The hot 2023 summer months are upon us, and it’s time to start thinking about how to prepare your air conditioning system for the heat.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 20% of air conditioning systems in San Antonio Texas will break down this summer. That means that if your air conditioner is 10 years old or more, there’s a good chance it will break down at least once this summer.

There are a few things you can do to help prevent your air conditioner from breaking down. First, have it inspected by a qualified HVAC professional at least once a year. They will be able to check for any problems that could cause your air conditioner to break down.

Second, make sure to clean your air conditioner’s coils regularly. The coils are responsible for removing heat from your home, and if they’re dirty, they won’t be able to do their job effectively. You can clean the coils yourself, or you can have a professional do it for you.

Third, make sure to change your air conditioner’s filters regularly. The filters help to clean the air that your air conditioner circulates, and if they’re dirty, they can cause your air conditioner to work harder and break down sooner. You should change the filters at least once a month, or more often if you have pets or live in a dusty area.

By following these tips, you can help to prevent your air conditioner from breaking down and keep your home cool and comfortable all summer long.

Now, here are some recommended steps for getting an air conditioning system ready for the hot summer:

• Have your air conditioning system inspected by a qualified HVAC professional at least once a year.
  
• Clean your air conditioner’s coils regularly.
  
• Change your air conditioner’s filters regularly.
  
• Make sure to have enough refrigerant in your air conditioner.
  
• Check for any leaks in your air conditioner’s system.
  
• Make sure that your air conditioner’s ducts are properly insulated.
  

Make sure that your air conditioner’s thermostat is properly calibrated.

Here is a list of steps that a HVAC professional would do to maintain an air conditioning system:

• Inspect the air conditioner for any damage or leaks.
  
• Clean the coils and condenser unit.
  
• Replace the filters.
  
• Add refrigerant if necessary.
  
• Check for any leaks in the system.
