Care for Central AC Systems This National AC Day

July is fast approaching, and that means National Air Conditioning Day is just around the corner! Yes, many homeowners have probably not heard of this holiday, but it's real. And what better way for homeowners to honor this day than for them to care for their central AC systems!

There are several steps required to maintain central air conditioning in homes. While the systems will continue to function without consistent upkeep, there will be a noticeable decline in system efficiency over time. Homeowners should understand how to maintain their AC systems to ensure their longevity!

Regularly Replace Filters and Maintain Cleanliness

The first and foremost thing that homeowners must do to care for their central AC systems is to regularly replace their filters. This is critical to ensuring the efficiency of home cooling systems. When homeowners do not regularly replace their filters, there can be huge accumulations of dirt, debris, and other air pollutants.

When this happens, it means the AC system must utilize excess energy to achieve the same cooling effect – this can harm both the units themselves and homeowners' wallets!

In addition to regularly replacing filters, homeowners should also generally maintain cleanliness in their homes. Periodic dusting, vacuuming, and cleaning will prevent the buildup of airborne particles that eventually make their way into the AC filters.

Adjust Thermostat To Reduce Unit Strain

Adjusting the thermostat is another great way that homeowners can care for their AC systems. Specifically, they can raise the temperature settings during the days and lower the settings at night. Additionally, if families are away from their homes for several hours or days, there is no need to run a lot of AC if nobody is home! All of these measures will help with energy conservation.

This does not mean homeowners and their families should never run their AC – after all, that is what these systems are for. Here the point is more so that to the extent homeowners can conserve air conditioning to reduce unit strain, they should.

Schedule Regular AC Maintenance

Last but most certainly not least, homeowners should schedule regular AC maintenance for their cooling systems by enlisting the help of professionals. Periodic checkups are great because HVAC professionals can identify and address potential problems earlier on to avoid bigger headaches in the future.

This can reduce the probability of future costly repairs for home AC systems, and it can continue to ensure homeowners' air conditioning systems function adequately and efficiently. HVAC professionals will know common problems to look out for and address them in the most cost-effective manner. So get calling today, because what better time to schedule AC maintenance than in the same month as National AC Day!
