3 Maintenance Tips for Your Riverside, CA, Air Conditioner

Keeping up with your AC maintenance on a regular basis will add years to your system’s life. Even during downtime, there are some steps to take in order to make sure it’s ready when the warmer weather in Riverside, CA, comes along. You might be able to do some of the maintenance yourself, but for more difficult tasks or repairs, it’s a good idea to call a professional technician.

Keep It Clean

One of the quickest and easiest things to do is change the filter. You’d be surprised at all the dust and dirt that a filter can collect in just a few months. Dirt that would otherwise be floating around in the air you breathe will collect in the filter. A clean filter works better to keep the air quality in your home safe for you and your family.

Protect Your AC Unit

Regardless of the weather, being outside can wreak havoc on your air conditioning unit. Even though you aren’t using your air conditioner during the winter months, wear and tear can still happen. To keep your system protected when not in use, cover it with a heavy weatherproof material or pre-made AC cover. When it’s time to get it ready for warmer weather, part of your job will already be done.

Know When to Seek Outside Help

Just as you need to see a doctor for a complete physical from time to time, your central air conditioner unit needs to be closely examined periodically. Check for leaks in and around your unit. Make sure that all belts and seals are in good shape and are working as they should. Terminals and connections need to be checked as well as making sure the thermostat is accurate.
