With summer temperatures on the rise, your HVAC system plays a critical role in keeping your home cool and comfortable. But is your system ready to handle the heat? Use this quick checklist to make sure you're prepared before the hottest days arrive.
1. Replace or Clean Air Filters
Dirty filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. Check and replace them every 1–2 months during heavy use.
2. Test the Thermostat
Ensure your thermostat is working properly and set to cooling mode. A programmable or smart thermostat can help save energy while maintaining comfort.
3. Inspect Vents and Registers
Make sure all vents are open and unblocked by furniture or curtains to allow for proper air circulation.
4. Check the Outdoor Unit
Remove leaves, dirt, and debris from around the outdoor condenser unit. Clear space around it to ensure optimal performance.
5. Listen for Unusual Sounds
Rattling, buzzing, or squealing noises may indicate loose parts or other issues. Don’t ignore these warning signs.
6. Schedule Professional Maintenance
Have a licensed technician inspect and service your HVAC system. A tune-up can identify problems early and improve system performance.
Proper maintenance not only improves energy efficiency but also extends the life of your equipment and helps avoid costly breakdowns in the middle of summer.
The professional and highly skilled team from A Plus Quality is here to help with all your HVAC needs. Whether you need a tune-up, repair, or full system upgrade, we’re ready to ensure your home stays cool and comfortable all season long.
