2. Replace your AC filter

After many months without use, the first thing you need to do is change the filter and clean the systems using one of our service technicians. The typical AC filter needs to be changed twice per annum for optimal performance. A filter acts as a barrier between debris and the air conditioning mechanism, so it is vital to keep on schedule. Workforce with allergies should be particularly mindful of their filter change frequency.

3. Thoroughly clean the unit

Since your outside unit is susceptible to the elements, it is important to closely inspect and clean it correctly ensuring correct condenser performance. Clear out any obstruction on the grills and around the unit. Make sure to power it down entirely, then spray the air conditioner coils with specialist cleaner.
