Top Maintenance Tips to Extend Your AC’s Lifespan

Keep Your Cool: Top Maintenance Tips to Extend Your AC’s Lifespan 🧊

If you want your air conditioner to last for years and avoid surprise breakdowns, you’re in the right place! At Ace Status Heating, we know how much you rely on your AC—especially during those sweltering summer days. Regular AC maintenance isn’t just about comfort. It means fewer repair bills, lower energy costs, and a cooler home, all year long.

Let’s dig into our favorite AC maintenance tips for homeowners across the area.

Why AC Maintenance Matters for Homeowners 💡

Your AC works hard every season. Without regular care, it can wear down quickly—leading to:

• Costly emergency hvac or 24 Hour Emergency Service calls
• Shorter lifespan for your system
• Higher monthly utility bills
• Uncomfortable hot (or cold!) spots in your house

But with the right maintenance, you can avoid most HVAC Repair headaches, from AC Repair to Furnace Repair and beyond.

Your Seasonal AC Maintenance Checklist 📆

Taking care of your AC is easier than you think. Here’s what you can do every season to keep things running smoothly:

🌸 Spring

• Change or Clean Filters: Replace or clean filters every 1-3 months. Clogged filters make your AC work harder and reduce indoor air quality.
• Clear Debris: Remove leaves, grass, and other debris from around your outdoor AC unit.
• Check Thermostat Settings: Make sure your thermostat is set for cooling and is accurate.

☀️ Summer

• Inspect Refrigerant Lines: Look for visible damage or wear. Unusual frost or leaks should always be checked by a professional.
• Clean Condenser Coils: Dirty coils mean less efficient cooling. Gently hose them down (with the power off!).
• Trim Plants: Keep a two-foot clearance around your outdoor unit for proper airflow.

🍂 Fall

• Check Drain Lines: Make sure condensate drains are clear to prevent leaks and mold.
• Test System Performance: Let your AC run for 10-15 minutes. Listen for odd noises or weak airflow.
• Schedule Professional AC Maintenance: Prepping your system before winter pays off in the long run.

❄️ Winter

• Cover Outdoor Unit (if needed): Protect your AC from ice and debris (but don’t restrict airflow completely).
• Inspect Insulation: Make sure refrigerant lines are properly insulated.
• Check Furnace or Heat Pump: Switching to heating? Time for Heating Maintenance and maybe a Home Energy Audit.
