Once you get your air conditioner running again for the first stretch of the season, you may ask yourself: Hey, is it working as well as it used to? Better to address that question before temperatures rise from swell to sweltering.
AirVantage – The League City AC Repair Specialists
Like any appliance, air conditioners need a little TLC to deliver optimal performance. It’s the ACs that haven’t been kept in top-notch condition that tend to struggle most in hot weather.
To make sure you don’t sweat the next heat wave, ask the experts at AirVantage the air conditioner pros to identify the most common problems that crop up with central air conditioners. We highlighted five problems to troubleshoot now.
These are the most common problems that effect central AC systems, and—we’re happy to say the easiest to fix. Here are five questions to ask that will help you keep your AC in peak performance all summer long.
Central AC Checklist
1. Is the Filter Dirty?
No matter which type of air conditioner you have, a clogged filter restricts airflow, decreasing efficiency and reducing the ability to effectively cool the air. Filters on central AC systems should be changed at least once a month, especially if your system is running constantly or if you have pets. “When we get calls about central air units that aren’t working well, 9 times out of 10 it’s because of a dirty air filter.
2. Is the Thermostat on the Right Setting?
With a smart or programmable thermostat, you can more easily control the temperature in your home so that it’s at a comfortable temperature when you’re there and a bit higher when you’re not. If the temperature seems off, make sure the thermostat isn’t exposed to direct sunlight, which may cause it to register the wrong temperature.
3. Are the Registers Dirty or Blocked?
If you have a forced-air heating and cooling system, regularly vacuum the registers to remove any dust buildup. Make sure that furniture and other objects aren’t blocking the airflow through your registers.
4. Are Plants Crowding the Compressor?
The outdoor compressor for central air needs adequate airflow to work correctly, so make sure there’s at least 1 foot of space between the compressor and any plants or structures. There should also be 5 feet of clearance between the top of the unit and any trees above.
5. Did You Remember the Annual Checkup?
Nearby AC Service by an AirVantage technician can catch any serious problems before they get worse and 
leave you hot and bothered at the peak of summer. The technician will check all the moving parts, as well as the refrigerant, and recharge the system if necessary.
