As temperatures rise, ensuring your air conditioner is ready can save you from uncomfortable surprises. Routine AC preparation—including cleaning, inspection, and tune-ups—improves efficiency, extends the system’s lifespan, and keeps your home cool and comfortable all summer long. Early maintenance means fewer breakdowns and lower energy bills when you need it most.
At JN Electrical, we know that dependable air conditioning in Hart County is essential for keeping your family safe, comfortable, and worry-free throughout the warmer months. When you prepare your AC system early, you protect your investment and avoid costly emergency repairs. Our team is here to guide you through the essential steps that ensure reliable performance from the first warm day to the peak of summer.
Replace and Clean Air Filters
One of the simplest yet most important tasks is to check and replace your air filters. Dirty filters restrict airflow, forcing your system to work harder and use more energy. By installing clean filters, you improve indoor air quality, increase efficiency, and reduce unnecessary strain on your unit. We recommend inspecting filters monthly and replacing them at least every ninety days, or more often if you have pets or allergies.
Inspect the Outdoor Unit
Your outdoor condenser unit requires adequate airflow to operate efficiently. Over the fall and winter, leaves, dirt, and debris can accumulate around the system. Clear away any buildup and trim back nearby plants to maintain at least two feet of clearance. Gently rinsing the coils with a garden hose can also help remove dust and improve performance, but avoid high-pressure rinsing, which could damage delicate components.
Schedule a Professional Tune-Up
While there are several maintenance steps you can handle, a professional inspection ensures nothing is overlooked. During a spring tune-up, we thoroughly inspect electrical connections, check refrigerant levels, test thermostat accuracy, and confirm that every component is operating safely and efficiently. Identifying small issues early prevents major breakdowns during the hottest days of the year.
Check Thermostat Settings
Your thermostat is critical to maintaining comfort and controlling energy costs. Make sure it is set to cooling mode and working properly. If your home still uses an older manual model, consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat for improved efficiency and convenience. We can help you select and install the right option for your home.
