Before the first hint of humidity or a hot day sneaks up on you, give your air conditioning system the attention it needs! This spring, Tommy’s Tips focuses on getting your AC in tip-top shape. Whether it’s a central air system or ductless unit, proper maintenance ensures comfort, energy savings, and fewer surprises when temperatures rise. Let Spring Brook's trusted team help you stay ahead of the season and avoid unnecessary AC repairs!
1. Schedule Your Annual AC Tune-Up
Tommy always says, “A little prevention goes a long way.” Booking your seasonal maintenance with Spring Brook ensures your system runs efficiently and reliably when you need it most. Our team checks for worn parts, refrigerant levels, and overall performance to catch potential issues early before they lead to costly repairs down the road.
2. Change or Clean Your Air Filters
Want to learn one of the simplest, most impactful things you can do for your system? Swap out that old air filter! Dirty filters restrict airflow, forcing your AC to work harder and use more energy. For better indoor air quality and system efficiency, Tommy recommends checking filters monthly and replacing them at least every three months or more often during high-use seasons.
3. Clear Debris and Obstructions Around Outdoor Units
Your outdoor condenser unit needs breathing room! Leaves, dirt, grass clippings, and clutter can block airflow and limit performance. Make sure there are a few feet of clearance around the unit and gently hose off any built-up grime on the fins, but only when the unit is off!
4. Seal Up and Insulate
Don’t let that valuable cool air escape. Check windows, doors, and ductwork for leaks. Proper insulation keeps your cooled air inside, reducing the strain on your AC and lowering your utility bills.
5. Upgrade Older Equipment
If your AC is more than 10 years old or keeps giving you trouble, it might be time to consider an upgrade. Today’s high-efficiency systems can save you money long-term and provide more consistent comfort. Spring Brook offers professional assessments to help you make the right call.
