June in West Chester marks the start of long, hot, and humid summer days. The last thing any homeowner wants is for their air conditioner to quit when it’s needed most. Keeping your system in top shape not only ensures comfort but also saves money and extends the life of your equipment.
At Aire Serv of West Chester, we’ve put together this summer survival guide so you can enjoy cool comfort all season long.
1. Change Your Air Filters Regularly
Your A/C works overtime in summer, and dirty filters make it harder. Restricted airflow reduces efficiency and can lead to breakdowns.
Tip: Replace filters every 30–60 days to keep your system breathing easy.
2. Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clear
Grass clippings, leaves, and other debris around your condenser unit can block airflow and strain the system.
Tip: Maintain at least two feet of clearance around the unit and gently rinse it off with a garden hose when dirty.
3. Use Your Thermostat Wisely
Setting the thermostat too low makes your system run longer and use more energy.
Tip: Aim for a comfortable but efficient temperature (around 76–78°F) and consider upgrading to a smart thermostat for better control.
4. Seal Leaks and Insulate
Cool air escapes through gaps in windows, doors, and ductwork, forcing your A/C to work harder.
Tip: Seal leaks, add insulation, and schedule duct inspections to keep your cool air where it belongs.
5. Schedule Preventive Maintenance
The most effective way to avoid breakdowns is professional service. Technicians can clean coils, check refrigerant levels, and catch small issues before they turn into costly repairs.
Tip: Book your seasonal A/C tune-up in early summer to ensure smooth operation all season long.
Bonus Energy-Saving Tips
- Use ceiling fans to circulate cool air and reduce strain on your A/C.
- Close blinds or curtains during peak sunlight hours.
- Avoid using heat-generating appliances (like ovens) during the hottest part of the day.
