With the warmer summer months just around corner, now is a great time to take care of some important air conditioning related tasks so that when the time comes to finally turn on your system, you’re greeted with cool, comfortable air.

• Schedule a maintenance call: There’s no better way to ensure the proper performance of your air conditioning system than to have it thoroughly inspected by an air conditioning professional. If you do not have a ‘go-to’ contractor, make sure you choose one that is highly reputable and has a A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, if you don’t have a maintenance contract for your system, you should consider investing in one.
• Change your filters: Filters are one of the most important parts of your air conditioning system. They not only protect your system from failure by trapping dust and other contaminants, they also help increase indoor air quality. Always use the highest quality filters possible. If you are unsure about what filters you should be using, be sure to contact a reliable HVAC company and let them determine what you need. If indoor air quality is a concern due to respiratory allergies, you may want to consider installing a high-quality air filtration system such as the Trane CleanEffects® Air filtration system.
• Clear Debris: Thoroughly check the area surrounding your system’s outdoor units, and remove any leaves, branches or debris that could interfere with the functioning of the units.

With these three simple preventative maintenance steps, you will be fully prepared for the summer cooling season. Get started now, because you don’t want to find yourself in a sweltering hot home waiting for a costly emergency service call.
