Here at Efficient Systems, we know what a pain AC repairs and replacements can be. That’s why we want your air conditioner investment to last as long as possible. Our team of experienced HVAC contractors see AC units in all phases of their lives, and we know how to make sure your cooling unit runs efficiently and pushes its lifespan to the max. 

If you don’t want to worry about an AC installation or AC repairs happening so often, read on to find out the best ways to ensure an AC life extension.  

Best Air Conditioner Maintenance Practices 

The number one way to make sure your AC lasts longer is to perform or schedule regular maintenance on your system. Making sure that your AC is healthy and taken care of throughout the year allows it to run efficiently and with less deterioration.  

For example, you drive your vehicle around almost every day. In order for it to be reliable and last a long time, you have to change to oil, buy gas and rotate the tires. Without these maintenance checks, your vehicle will break down early or need repairs often.  

Check the following tasks off your list throughout the year and watch your AC’s performance increase and keep you cool and comfortable for many years to come! 

1. Change The Air Filters

One of the easiest things you can do for your system is simply clean or replace the air filters 2-3 times a year. The air will flow smoothly through the system, your health will be increased from the lack of air contaminants and less debris will find its way into the AC unit. 

2. Keep An Eye On The Outdoor Unit

Your outdoor unit houses the compressor and components that are essential to the cooling process. Every now and then, walk around the unit and clear branches and leaves away from it. Do a visual inspection to spot any leaking liquid or abnormalities you can address. Clean grime from the air intakes – both on the indoor and outdoor units. 

3. Make Sure Your Air Is Free To Flow

Air vents are designed to allow a certain amount of air to rush throughout the air ducts. When air vents are closed or blocked, strain is put on the AC unit because the air can’t flow properly. Make sure furniture is not blocking your air vents. 

Also, your air ducts can collect dust and dirt from the air. A brief cleaning of your vents and the air ducts openings could help the air flow smoother and cleaner into your home. If you notice a thick amount of dust coating your air ducts, call us for Beaumont HVAC services.
