How to Prevent Air Conditioning Problems

May 18, 2017

Many customers ask what they can do to avoid air conditioning repair problems besides just changing their air filter every 30 days. Chief/Bauer Service Experts is here with a couple options to help your cooling equipment keep up with the high temperatures of summer.

Power off your air conditioner while mowing.

To prevent lawn clippings from getting into your outside A/C equipment, turn your thermostat to “off” while you are doing yardwork. You should also keep the outdoor system clear from any vegetation or brush so it has enough room to perform properly.

Keep air supply vents open and free from obstruction.

To be sure your home has proper airflow, make sure your return air grills are open and have plenty of open space around them.

Get routine pest control visits.

Bugs can find their way into the electrical components within your outdoor A/C equipment. These bugs could actually cause the equipment to malfunction so spreading an environmentally safe pesticide around the base of your outdoor system can help stop insect infestation issues.

Get your seasonal tune-up.

Chief/Bauer Service Experts offers A/C system maintenance plans to provide homeowners with a proactive approach to taking care of your equipment. Yearly maintenance is crucial not just to keep your cooling system working properly, but also to keep your warranty valid.
