Luckily, there are dedicated professionals who specialize in repairing air conditioners and ensure that we don’t suffer for long. These individuals are known as ‘Heatwave Heroes’ – experts who come to our rescue when our ACs fail us during the hottest days of the year.
We had the opportunity to speak with some of these Heatwave Heroes – experienced air conditioner repair technicians – who shared their insights on keeping your AC in top shape during hot weather.
All 1 Mechanical) Perform Regular Maintenance: The best way to prevent breakdowns is by maintaining your AC regularly. “With regular maintenance checks from a professional technician, you can avoid unexpected repairs,” says John Smith*, an HVAC specialist with over 15 years of experience.
2) Change Air Filters: Dust and debris clogging up your air filters can disrupt airflow and cause your AC to work harder than needed. “Air filters should be changed every three months or so,” states Sarah Jones*, another experienced technician in the field.
3) Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clean: The outdoor unit of your air conditioner is continuously exposed to dust, dirt, and debris which can obstruct proper functioning. “Regularly cleaning around the outdoor unit helps improve its efficiency,” advises Alex Patel*, an expert HVAC technician.
4) Invest in a Smart Thermostat: A smart thermostat allows you to set schedules and adjust temperatures remotely using your phone or tablet. This also helps reduce energy consumption as it ensures that the system isn’t running unnecessarily.
5) Know When It’s Time for Replacement: Sometimes repairing an old AC might not be cost-effective as compared to investing in a new one. According to Tim Rogers*, an experienced AC technician, “If you need frequent and expensive repairs on your old unit, it’s time to consider getting a new one.
6) Check the Refrigerant Levels: Low refrigerant levels can hinder your AC’s cooling capacity, causing the system to work harder and increase energy consumption. “If you notice your AC isn’t cooling like it used to, get a professional to check the refrigerant levels,” advises Patel.
7) Keep Your Home Insulated: Proper insulation is crucial for keeping your home cool during hot weather. “Insulating your home helps in maintaining a comfortable temperature inside and reduces strain on the AC system,” says Smith.
These are just some of the tips shared by our Heatwave Heroes. They remind us that prevention is always better than cure when it comes to maintaining our air conditioners during hot weather. So follow these expert tips and stay cool this summer!
