4 Tips to Keep Your AC System Running Smoothly

Here’s how to help your AC power through the last stretch of summer:

1.       Check and Replace Your Air Filter: A clogged filter makes your system work harder and can lead to breakdowns. During peak cooling season, it’s a good idea to replace filters every month.

2.       Clear Debris Around the Outdoor Unit: Grass clippings, leaves, and dirt can block airflow. Keep at least two feet of clearance around your condenser for best performance.

3.       Keep Vents and Registers Open: Closing off vents might seem like a way to save energy, but it can actually create pressure issues in your ductwork. Make sure airflow isn’t blocked by furniture or rugs.

4.       Schedule a Late-Summer Tune-Up: Professional maintenance can catch small issues, like low refrigerant or worn parts, before they cause bigger problems.

Choose Standard to help meet your air conditioning needs.

A little preventive attention now can mean fewer repairs, lower energy bills, and a more comfortable home as summer winds down. If you need AC service, Standard Air Conditioning Co. is here to help keep you cool. Just give us a call and we will be more than happy to schedule an appointment with you.
