Below, we outline how we prepare air conditioners for the summer heat:

Change the Air Filters

Air filters protect HVAC systems—and a structure’s occupants—from pollutants by removing harmful substances from the indoor atmosphere. Yet those substances collect on filters and, over time, obstruct these mechanisms’ functioning. Nevertheless, you can cut back on long-term air conditioner maintenance costs by having your filters changed every 3 months.

The best way to remember your filters need a change is to set a reminder every season or sign up for Argent’s planned maintenance program. The program provides 2 seasonal inspections per year at a discounted price, so you can save money while also protecting your HVAC system.

Program Thermostats

While manual thermostats require you to change their settings daily, programmable thermostats offer automatic adjustment. Nevertheless, fine-tune your thermostat’s temperatures for summer: you can set it to specific levels for waking, leaving the house, arriving home, and going to sleep. Some programmable thermostats even allow you to set distinct zones in your home to different temperatures.

If you have yet to switch over to a programmable or SMART thermostat, ask your HVAC technician about having one installed. In addition to their convenience, such thermostats conserve energy and lower your cooling costs.

Inspect & Repair System Components

As part of your spring air conditioner maintenance checklist, have your system inspected and repaired. Ductwork should be checked for cracks and leaks to maintain energy efficiency. Additionally, a professional can ensure your system’s internal components are operating effectively.

Air conditioners in need of repairs often release foul odors and make strange noises. Thus, service technicians inspect air conditioners by checking for proper airflow, system cycling, and measuring temperatures. Regular inspections lengthen your HVAC system’s longevity and keep your air cool all summer.
