AC Maintenance Do's and Don'ts: Keeping Your System in Tip-Top Shape

At Burkhardt Heating & Cooling, we’re committed to ensuring your AC system’s longevity and efficiency, but it’s equally essential for you to play your part. Let’s explore the steps you should take to keep your AC running smoothly and the pitfalls to avoid.

AC Maintenance Do’s:

Regularly Change or Clean Filters: Replace or clean your AC filters every 1-3 months or as recommended by the manufacturer. Clean filters ensure proper airflow and maintain indoor air quality.

Keep the Area Around the Unit Clean: Clear any debris, leaves, or other obstructions around the outdoor unit to ensure adequate airflow. Trim vegetation and bushes to maintain a 2-foot clearance.
Schedule Professional Maintenance Annually: Invest in annual professional maintenance. An experienced technician can identify and address issues before they escalate, ensuring peak efficiency.
Adjust the Thermostat Settings: Set your thermostat to an efficient temperature, usually around 78°F (25-26°C) during the summer. Use a programmable thermostat to optimize cooling when you’re home and save energy when you’re away.
Check for Air Leaks: Inspect doors, windows, and ductwork for air leaks. Proper insulation prevents cooled air from escaping and hot air from infiltrating your space.
Ensure Proper Ventilation: Keep all supply and return vents open and unblocked to maintain balanced airflow throughout your home or business.
Clean the Evaporator and Condenser Coils: Schedule professional cleaning of the evaporator and condenser coils to remove dirt and debris, ensuring efficient heat transfer.

AC Maintenance Don’ts:

Neglecting Regular Maintenance: Don’t skip annual professional maintenance. Neglect can lead to costly repairs and a shortened lifespan for your AC unit.
Ignoring Unusual Noises or Odors: Don’t ignore strange sounds or odors coming from your AC system. These could indicate serious issues that require immediate attention.
Overworking Your AC: Don’t set your thermostat too low. Extreme cooling settings can strain your AC and result in higher energy bills.
Neglecting Air Filters: Don’t forget to regularly clean or replace air filters. Clogged filters reduce airflow, making your AC work harder and less efficiently.
Blocking Vents: Don’t obstruct vents with furniture or other items. Blocked vents can disrupt airflow and create temperature imbalances in your space.
DIY Refrigerant Handling: Don’t attempt to handle refrigerant yourself. Refrigerant handling requires specialized knowledge and equipment. Leave it to the professionals.
Neglecting Ductwork: Don’t overlook the condition of your ductwork. Leaky or poorly insulated ducts can lead to energy loss and reduced cooling efficiency.

If you have any questions or concerns about AC maintenance, don’t hesitate to contact Burkhardt Heating & Cooling for expert guidance and service.
