Bartlett Heating and Air Has Tips for Getting Your AC Ready for Summer

Even though it is still cold and dreary out today after having temperatures in the 60’s yesterday spring is here and summer will be following. Spring is the time to start thinking about getting your air conditioner ready to use. You want to be prepared before the hot weather gets here so you can be sure you are comfortable. It is also a good idea to get it done before the heat come because when that first heat wave comes, HVAC places get slammed with people needing service and that means you will be waiting longer than you want to in order to get service and be comfortable. Here are some things you should do soon to make sure your air conditioner is ready when summer finally arrives. First you should make sure to walk around your AC outside and make sure it is clear of debris. Wind can shove branches and leaves into and around your unit. Branches and other debris laying against your AC can cause the fan and compressor issues. Debris impedes air flow which causes your system to struggle and work harder to cool your home. Pieces of debris can also get into the fan area and stop it from spinning freely, they can also damage the blades causing you further issues. Clear anything you see that is too close to the AC so it can get as much air as it needs to perform its best. The next thing you should do is check out and clean your duct work. The professionals at Bartlett Heating and Air can inspect and fix any damaged duct work to make sure the conditioned air reaches all the needed spaces in your home. Broken duct work means you are wasting money by letting conditioned air escape which causes your system to work harder to cool your home to desired temperature. This means higher energy bills. Getting your ducts cleaned is also recommended if you have not had that done. This will clear debris out of the ducts making air flow stronger so your HVAC system has to work less hard to cool your home. Bartlett Heating and Air has an duct cleaning special going on right now!
