How to Keep Your Air Conditioner from Failing

June 24, 2019

One thing that can ruin a warm summer’s day in Auburn is a failing air conditioner. Your space is usually the cool place you rest when you’ve had enough of the heat outdoors. But when it’s actually WARMER inside than it is outside, it can be a pretty miserable situation. This situation calls for an air conditioning service, and you’ve got better things to do with your summer days than wait for your AC to get fixed. So, how can you stop an air conditioner failure and take full advantage of your summer? The key to preventing a failure and the avoidable air conditioning service appointment is to be proactive! Instead of an emergency air conditioning repair, why not plan ahead and book preventive maintenance?

A preventive AC maintenance appointment performed by the pros at Forster Heating is your first and strongest line of defense against lots of problems that can mean AC failure—and the resulting miserable summer days. We’ll check that everything is working as it should and look for things that could be potential problems later on. We’ll take care of those budding problems before they grow into costly problems that leave you in the scorching heat of summer.

Some other ideas you can do to help keep your air conditioner operating as it should are:

  • Frequently checking and switching your air filter to keep air flowing efficiently through your home.
  • Ensuring your AC equipment isn’t obstructed by any plant life or debris. Check to ensure that your air returns aren’t covered by furniture or drapery or anything else that could impact airflow. The harder your AC has to work, the less efficient it’ll be—and the more likely it’ll be to break down earlier than it should.
