There is little worse than enjoying a scorching day out of the heat at home and suddenly your air conditioner doesn’t seem to work properly anymore. An annual preventive maintenance service call is a whole lot cheaper than a fix-it bill.

A homeowner can do a lot to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of an air conditioner. Purchase extra filters and store them in a safe place for future use. The colder months before and after summer often see filters on sale.

You should replace or rinse dirty filters at least annually. Dirty filters can overwork your system as it works to keep your house cool.

Check your freon levels or call a specialist to check for you before the warm season starts. Fuses and sensors may become faulty, so have them checked as well.

Vacuum cleaners, washer and dryer, dish washer, pool pump, electric garage doors, computers, and hair dryers should be used sparingly to avoid tripping breakers. Make sure not to keep refrigerator and freezer doors open too long.

Beware of circuit board burnout, which can be costly. If you are a new resident, ask the previous owner how old the system is and if there are any functional concerns. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or challenge the technicians diagnosis, and don’t be afraid to get a couple of estimates before choosing one company to work with.

Some replaceable parts may have up to a five year warranty, so be certain to have the technician explain and write down all warranty information on your receipt.

Be smart by taking care of your system, and it will take care of you.
