As fall deepens in Southwest Connecticut, homeowners often overlook their air conditioning systems while focusing on heating. Performing a pre-winter AC shutoff and inspection can protect your system, improve efficiency, and prevent costly repairs next spring.
At Aire Serv of Southwest Connecticut, we recommend taking a few simple steps to prepare your AC for the off-season while ensuring your heating system remains unaffected.
Clean and Inspect the Outdoor Unit
Before shutting down your AC, remove leaves, debris, and dirt from around the condenser. Inspect for damage to coils, fins, or wiring caused by summer use. A clean and protected unit is ready to perform efficiently when needed next year.
Check Refrigerant Levels
Low refrigerant can stress your AC and cause long-term damage. Having a professional check levels during the pre-winter inspection ensures your system is healthy and prevents issues when it’s reactivated in the spring.
Seal and Insulate Exposed Ductwork
Ducts can lose efficiency during the off-season if leaks or gaps exist. Sealing and insulating ducts during your AC shutdown prevents energy loss, keeps your heating system efficient, and protects indoor air quality.
Schedule a Professional AC Inspection
A licensed technician can identify worn parts, clean internal components, and provide recommendations for preventative maintenance. Addressing minor issues now avoids expensive repairs during peak cooling months next summer.
Protect Your HVAC Investment
Shutting down and inspecting your AC before winter helps prevent ice formation, corrosion, and other seasonal damage. It also ensures your heating system operates smoothly without interference from lingering AC issues.
