Professional Tune-Up:

• Schedule a maintenance appointment: A professional technician can inspect your system, clean components, and identify any potential issues before they become problems.
• Check for leaks: Inspect for refrigerant leaks, which can reduce efficiency and increase costs.
• Clean the condenser and evaporator coils: These components play crucial roles in your system’s performance. Regular cleaning can improve efficiency and prevent breakdowns.
• Lubricate moving parts: Ensure that all moving parts are properly lubricated to prevent wear and tear.

Inspect and Replace Filters:

• Check air filters: Dirty air filters can restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, and increase energy consumption.
• Replace filters as needed: Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for filter replacement frequency.
• Consider upgrading to high-efficiency filters: These filters can help improve indoor air quality by capturing more pollutants.

Seal Air Leaks:

• Inspect for air leaks: Check around windows, doors, and ductwork for any gaps or cracks.
• Seal leaks: Caulk or weatherstrip any leaks to prevent cold air from entering your home and warm air from escaping.

Program Your Thermostat:

• Adjust settings: Set your thermostat to a lower temperature during the night and when you’re away from home to save energy.
• Consider a programmable thermostat: These thermostats can automatically adjust your home’s temperature based on your schedule.

Clear the Way:

• Remove obstructions: Ensure there are no obstructions around your outdoor unit, such as leaves, debris, or snow.
• Maintain a clear path: This will help your system run efficiently and prevent overheating.
