Each and every one of us rely on our AC to keep us cool in the heat of Vegas summers. Unlike many other places in the country, we have to think about this much earlier than other places that experience a traditional winter. We start to see an increase in temperature much sooner, and that’s why many of live here! As we start to see warmer days, you may catch yourself asking the question, “is my AC ready for the heavy work it needs to do this summer?” Hal Mechanical is here to talk about the importance of AC maintenance and why you want to be thinking about this long before the temperature increases.

How to Prepare Air Conditioner for Summer

There are several things that need to be done to ensure your AC system is up for the task at hand this summer. Following is where you should start:
– Inspect Your AC Unit: The first thing you should do before you turn on your AC system for the first time this spring/summer is to inspect your outside unit. Look at all the panels and be sure that none of them have become misaligned or fallen off during the off season. If you notice something isn’t right, call a professional as there is a risk of electrical shock here.
– Clear Area Around Condenser: If you notice that there are any brush or debris that have settled around your unit this winter, it all needs to be removed before turning on the AC for the first time.
– Change Air Filters: Without proper air circulation, your system can’t work as it should. Before your cooling system is ready to go this spring, the air filter needs to be changed.
– Clean Condenser Coils: Keeping your condenser coils clean will do wonders in extending the life of your unit. They collect dust that should be removed before you turn it on.
– Check the Thermostat: Your thermostat needs to be working properly or you will go to turn on that cool air to find yourself deeply disappointed.
