Summer AC Checklist: Small Jobs That Prevent Big Bills
Air conditioners fail on the hottest day of the year — not by coincidence, but because that's when clogged coils, weak capacitors and low refrigerant finally give up. A one-hour pre-summer service catches all three while parts are cheap and slots are open.
Your pre-summer five
- Change or wash filters — the single biggest airflow killer, and free to fix.
- Clear two feet around the outdoor unit — plants and clutter strangle the condenser.
- Flush the condensate drain — algae blockages cause most indoor leaks.
- Book a coil clean and electrical test — our annual service covers both in one visit.
- Set 75°F and leave it — constant fiddling with the thermostat wastes energy.
