If you’re a new homeowner and don’t know the particulars of preparing AC for Spring, it’s an important process. The mission is to make sure the airflow in your home is clean and functioning.
A compromised AC unit or system is forced to work harder and can become damaged from the stress of blockage while being more costly to operate. You’ll save money by following these simple steps that will ensure smooth airflow.
Replacing the Furnace Filter
Find the filter slot in your furnace. It should be on the side of your unit. When replacing it, make sure the arrows on the edge are pointing toward the furnace. If you need a replacement filter, Abode Home Comfort can provide those for you with our easy filter program.
Checking the Outdoor Condenser
Check around the unit for leaves and debris. These can cause the air conditioner to not perform as well as it should.
Inspecting the Drainage Pipe
If your drainage pipe is clogged, it could cause the water produced by the A/C coil to back up and spill on the floor.
Checking the Thermostat
After checking to make sure the batteries in your thermostat are working, lower the temperature by several degrees. Then wait for the AC to start.
If the AC doesn’t activate, contact an HVAC professional.
