Smart Homeowner’s Guide to Seasonal AC Maintenance

Understanding Your AC’s Seasonal Needs

As temperatures fluctuate throughout the year, your home cooling system requires different levels of attention and care. At Astro Air Inc., we understand that maintaining your air conditioning system isn’t just about responding to problems – it’s about preventing them before they start.

Spring Preparation

Before the heat arrives, schedule these essential tasks:
• Clean or replace air filters
• Clear debris from outdoor units
• Check thermostat functionality
• Inspect ductwork for leaks

Summer Performance

During peak cooling season, your AC system works its hardest. Watch for these warning signs:
• Unusual noises
• Inconsistent cooling
• Higher than normal energy bills
• Excessive humidity indoors

Fall Transition

As summer winds down, prepare your system for its period of reduced use:
• Schedule professional maintenance
• Clean coils and fins
• Check refrigerant levels
• Inspect electrical connections

Winter Protection

Even when your AC isn’t in regular use, protection matters:
• Cover outdoor units
• Clear ice and snow accumulation
• Maintain clear space around equipment
• Monitor for any winter damage

Remember, professional maintenance twice yearly helps ensure optimal performance when you need it most. Don’t wait until your system shows signs of strain – preventative care saves both money and comfort in the long run.

The Value of Professional Service

While some maintenance tasks can be handled by homeowners, professional expertise ensures your system receives comprehensive care. Certified technicians have the tools and knowledge to identify potential issues before they become costly repairs.
