How to Keep Your Air Conditioner from Failing

June 24, 2019

One unpleasant surprise that can wreak havoc on a warm summer’s day in Troy is a failing air conditioner. Your space is typically the cool place you relax 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 devastating situation. This condition calls for an air conditioning service, and you’ve got more exciting things to do with your summer days 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 stopping a failure and the inevitable air conditioning service appointment is to be proactive! Instead of an emergency air conditioning repair, why not plan ahead and book preventive maintenance?

A preventive AC maintenance tune-up performed by the team at Edington Heating & Cooling Inc is your first and soundest line of defense against lots of problems that can mean AC failure—and the resulting miserable summer days. We’ll check that everything is working as it should and check for things that could be possible problems down the road. We’ll take care of those impending problems before they grow into costlier problems that leave you in the boiling heat of summer.

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

  • Repeatedly checking and replacing your air filter to keep air flowing efficiently through your space.
  • Confirming your AC equipment isn’t blocked 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 affect airflow. The harder your AC has to work, the less efficient it’ll be—and the more likely it’ll be to break down prematurely.

Before things heat up this summer, contact Edington Heating & Cooling Inc to make sure your AC is ready for the challenge! You’ll be glad you did.
