How to Keep Your Air Conditioner from Failing

June 24, 2019

One unpleasant surprise that can ruin a warm summer’s day in Crystal and Twin Cities is a failing air conditioner. Your home is usually the cool place you rest when you’ve had enough of the heat outdoors. But when it’s actually WARMER inside than it is outside, it can be a pretty miserable situation. This state calls for an air conditioning service, and you’ve got more fun things to do with your vacation time than wait for your AC to get fixed. So, how can you prevent an air conditioner failure and take full advantage of your summer? The key to preventing a failure and the expected air conditioning service appointment is to be proactive! Instead of an emergency air conditioning call, why not plan ahead and schedule preventive maintenance?

A preventive AC maintenance checkup performed by the pros at GV Heating & Air is your first and greatest line of defense against lots of problems that can cause an AC failure—and the resulting miserable summer days. We’ll ensure that everything is working as it should and check for things that could be likely problems down the road. We’ll take care of those impending problems before they grow into costlier problems that leave you in the sweltering heat of summer.

Some other tips you can do to help keep your air conditioner running as it should are:

  • Frequently checking and changing your air filter to keep air flowing efficiently through your space.
  • Confirming your AC equipment isn’t obstructed by any plant life or debris. Check to ensure that your air returns aren’t covered by furniture or drapery or anything else that could block airflow. The harder your AC has to work, the less efficient it’ll be—and the more likely it’ll be to break down earlier than it should.
