Here are just a few of the reasons why proper air conditioning maintenance is an important step in keeping your system operating at peak efficiency:

• Energy Efficiency: It may or may not come as a surprise to you that cooling costs can account for up to 48% of your overall energy bill each month! With that being said, you want to make sure that your air conditioning system is running as efficiently as possible, which will, in turn, lower energy costs. Routine maintenance will help you to accomplish this.
• Safety: It is to be expected that over time, parts of your air conditioning system will loosen, corrode, or become defective. Performing routine inspections and maintenance can help you to catch these small issues before they turn into catastrophic problems. It’s also important to note that if you do notice anything different with your system, you should call a professional HVAC contractor to take a look. Attempting to repair your system on your own can be very dangerous without proper training and understanding of the equipment.
• Comfort: At the end of the day, your air conditioning system is responsible for one thing – keeping you and your family cool and comfortable! As we already mentioned, routine maintenance will help your system to run efficiently, which will, in turn, reduce the amount of energy and work it takes to cool your home. You’ll find that a well-cared for and maintained system will properly distribute cool air throughout your living space, making it a pleasant place to be no matter what the temperature is outside.
• System Lifespan: Needless to say, when you’re checking your system regularly to ensure that all components are working properly, you’re working to prevent big problems before they occur. By inspecting your system and performing any necessary repairs as they come up, your system will last longer and cost you less money in repairs and replacements over time. The same way you take your car into the shop for tune-ups and inspections, it’s important to do what you can to ensure that your system is operating in good shape. Your air conditioning is, without a doubt, one of the most important systems in your home – don’t take for granted the role it plays in your comfort and quality of life!

Whether your AC is not cooling enough or has poor airflow, make sure to inspect the following:

• Check the thermostat to be sure it’s set on “cool” for summertime operation and that the setting is below the temperature of the room.
• Clean the contacts on a non-digital thermostat.
• Check the circuit breaker in the electrical panel to be sure it’s set in the "on" position. If you have fuses, check for a blown fuse.
• See if there is power to the air handler and compressor by making sure all switches are in the "on" position.
• Check if the filter is clean. A blocked filter can cause an air conditioning system to shut down due to inadequate airflow. Similarly, are the air intake grills open and clear of obstructions?
• See if the grill in front of the condensing section clear of debris. If not, sweep the area thoroughly.
