The summer heat is here! It is always recommended that all central heat and air conditioners receive a tune-up by technician or professional around this time of year. Doing this alone could save hundreds of dollars in repair and/or replacement costs. Likewise it will extend the units lifespan.
Air filters need to be replaced every month and this can be done by the homeowner. Electrostatic filters are generally considered to be best type. The unit should not be running without a filter. The manual should have detailed instructions for cleaning the filter area. If the filter is washed, make sure it is fully dried out before replacing it in the unit.
During the months of summer, be sure to check for and remove any debris from the outdoor condenser units. The fan blades should also be cleaned before the temperatures start to rise. Check to make sure the power is completely off, if you are doing this yourself.
