The only thing more frustrating than high energy bills? High energy bills in a house that still can’t get cool! If your A/C isn’t working like it should, there are four things you can do to get it back on track.
4 Troubleshooting Tips to Beat the Heat
- Change the Air Filter
A clogged filter is often the culprit for a wonky A/C unit. Clogged filters restrict airflow and make the A/C work harder. Changing the air filter every 1-3 months helps maintain optimal performance.
- Inspect the Air Vents
No rocket science here – blocked or closed vents can prevent cold air from circulating properly. Make sure all vents are open and unobstructed to allow air to flow freely.
- Clean the Condenser Coils
Dirty coils keep your unit from cooling efficiently. Clean the area around the unit and remove any obstructions to improve airflow.
- Check the Refrigerant Levels
Low refrigerant levels often result in poor cooling. You’ll want a professional to refill the refrigerant and check for leaks. Luckily, we know some pros.
