Our summer weather can sometimes arrive abruptly during spring. We\u2019ll switch from cloudy and cool weather straight to the big heat. You want to know that the first time you need your air conditioning system for the year that it will turn on and do its job right.<\/p>\n
Before you switch on your AC for the hot weather, go over these recommended steps. They\u2019ll help you prepare the air conditioning system and give it a better start to the season.<\/p>\n
The room vents are a part of an HVAC system that\u2019s often overlooked. But if these vents are closed or obstructed in some way, it will create uneven cooling and cause damage to the AC and ducts because of spikes in pressure. Movement of furniture, rugs, and curtains over the winter may have blocked the vents, or someone could\u2019ve shut the vent slats. Make sure all room vents are clear and open.<\/p>\n
The HVAC cabinet has an air filter located where the return air ducts connect to the blower. (In some cases it\u2019s behind the grill of the return air vent.) This filter protects the interior of the cabinet from debris, and it works when either the furnace or AC is running. The filter will have accumulated dust and lint over the winter, especially if it wasn\u2019t changed during that time. We recommend putting in a fresh filter so the AC has a good start to the season. Think of this as letting the AC \u201cbreathe\u201d freer.<\/p>\n
The condenser is the outdoor cabinet of the air conditioner. It houses the compressor, the condenser coils, and the exhaust fan. For the condenser to work efficiently and avoid internal damage, it needs to be clear for about a foot on all sides. Remove branches and leaves, trim back plants, and remove rocks from around the condenser. You can also gently hose down the cabinet if it\u2019s dirty. (Don\u2019t use a high-pressure nozzle to blast water into<\/em> the unit.)<\/p>\n You may have shut down the power switch to the air conditioning system in the fall so it wouldn\u2019t accidentally come on during the winter. Find the switch, which is located under a lid near the condenser, and turn it back on. Also check the circuit for the AC in the electrical panel to make sure that it\u2019s also on.<\/p>\n Last step\u2014and the most important one.
