The Importance of Annual Tune-Ups
Skipping your annual AC tune-up is one of the quickest ways to reduce your system's lifespan and drastically increase your energy bills. A professional check ensures all electrical connections are secure and refrigerant levels are correct.
DIY Steps You Can Take
- Clean or replace air filters monthly.
- Clear debris (leaves, grass clippings) from the outdoor condenser unit.
- Ensure adequate clearance (at least two feet) around the unit.
For complex tasks, like checking the compressor or measuring refrigerant, always call a licensed technician.
