It’s a hot one out there, folks! Are you running your air conditioning unit consistently to stay cool? We are too. We can all agree that after a long day and a hot, humid commute, the last thing you want is to walk into your house to notice your air conditioning isn’t working. What caused this? Your air conditioning unit overheated! To avoid this happening in the future, follow these tips.
Replace the Filters
The filters in your air conditioning system work to remove dirt, pollen, and dust from the air while also removing contaminants from the air conditioning unit. Over time, the filter will become clogged with dust and dirt, which causes your system to have to work harder.
When your system is forced to work harder, it will start to overheat, which can trip the circuit breaker. When the circuit breaker is tripped, you’re left with no air conditioning! Not ideal on a hot and humid day. By regularly maintaining your air-conditioning system and replacing the filters according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to keep your system running efficiently.
Schedule Regular Maintenance
Your air conditioning unit is made up of two units: an inside unit and an outside unit. Both parts have separate jobs but work together to efficiently cool your home. If one of these units isn’t working properly, it will cause the other unit to work harder and less efficient.
By scheduling regular maintenance with an HVAC professional, you’ll ensure that your system is in working order as well as address any concerns before they become a major issue. Your HVAC technician will also clean coils, filters, fan blades, and the motor to keep the system running efficiently all summer long.
Check the Refrigerant Levels
Have you noticed your air conditioning system running continuously? This could be due to lack of refrigerant or low levels of refrigerant. If you notice that your system is running continuously but not cooling down your home like it should be, have your HVAC technician check your refrigerant levels and repair any leaks.
