As the summer season approaches, we revel in the joys of firing up the grill, spending with loved ones, and exploring the great outdoors. With all the excitement and joy of summer, it can seem like the good times will never end. But a quick way to hamper the good times is to have your air conditioning system fail when temperatures reach their peak.

Change The Air Filters
Taking proper care of your Auburn HVAC system's air filters is among the easiest and most effective ways to prepare your system for any seasonal change, but it's particularly important for preparing your air conditioner for high-use seasons like summer. Depending on your HVAC system, you may have to replace the filter or clean it. Make a note of the type of filter best for your air conditioner and follow the appropriate guidelines for cleaning or changing it.
If your system uses reusable filters, the filters should be inspected, vacuumed, and rinsed regularly in between AC maintenance visits from your technician. For disposable air filters, replace the filter every month, if you have pets or plan to use your AC frequently during the summer, to every three months for lower use months. Our technicians can help you identify how often your system's filters should be replaced.
Clean The Outdoor Unit
When it comes to preparing your HVAC system for summer, it's not just your indoor unit that requires some attention. When preparing your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system for the summer months, be sure to take time to inspect and clean out the outdoor unit as well. As the seasons turn, debris, plants, grasses, weeds, and fallen leaves can block airflow in our outdoor unit, preventing the system from functioning as it should.
Maintain the areas surrounding the unit to ensure nothing prevents optimal system functioning. Additionally, you'll want to clear out and clean off your air vents and registers. Just as your system's air filters become clogged with regular use, so too do the vents and registers. Vacuum out vents and registers to remove any dust, debris, and hair accumulated over the previous season. Call our AC company to schedule professional service!

Higher Indoor Air Quality
Your health and comfort while indoors hinges largely on the quality of your indoor air. Indoor air quality or IAQ refers to the air quality within and around structures and it has a direct impact on the health and comfort of any household's occupants. IAQ can be affected by a variety of different factors, and the implications of poor air quality can pose severe health effects on homeowners and their loved ones, as well as reduced efficiency, poor operation, and decreased longevity of their HVAC systems. Ensuring your household system receives timely heating and air conditioning repairs whenever they are needed can help you breathe easily with the peace of mind that your serviced system will cool and heat the highest quality indoor air possible.
Extended HVAC Unit Lifespan
Like a number of other essential systems within your household, your HVAC system is a significant investment in time and money, so you'll likely wnt to ensure the system lasts as long as it can before you need to replace it. Regular, planned maintenance and speedy repairs performed whenever your system requires are essential components of the longevity of your heating and cooling systems. If your HVAC system is more than 15 years old, if it requires frequent repairs, and/or if it operates at low performance and efficiency, we recommend replacing it with a newer, more efficient and effective model.
