After surviving cold winters, your unit deserves some TLC to get it ready for the heat of summer. Start your spring preparation efforts by following these steps:

 

  • Take a look around the unit and remove any debris that will impede airflow, such as debris and vegetation.
  • Avoid turning on your central air until you remove any covers, blankets, or lids.
  • Pay attention to the pipe insulation. If it is damaged, call in a professional HVAC technician.
  • Look at the drain hose for potential clogs. Be sure to clean it out.
  • Head inside to replace indoor filters and clean vents and grills around your home.

Remember that if you have a manufacturer’s warranty, you should hire a professional to take care of your maintenance to keep your warranty intact. Don’t take any chances by trying to DIY.
