Keeping Cool in the Sunshine State

South Florida AC, a licensed Air Conditioning Installation and AC Repair company, understands the importance of a well-functioning cooling system in our tropical climate. Here are some valuable tips to help you maintain your AC unit and ensure it runs efficiently year-round:

1. Regular Maintenance

Schedule professional maintenance at least twice a year. This helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and extends the lifespan of your system.

2. Change Air Filters

Replace your air filters every 1-3 months, depending on usage. Clean filters improve air quality and reduce strain on your AC unit.

3. Keep the Outdoor Unit Clear

Ensure the area around your outdoor condenser is free from debris, plants, and obstructions to maintain proper airflow.

4. Monitor Thermostat Settings

Use a programmable thermostat to optimize energy efficiency and maintain a comfortable temperature.

5. Check for Leaks

Inspect visible refrigerant lines for signs of leaks or damage. If you suspect a leak, contact South Florida AC immediately.

6. Clean Air Vents and Ducts

Regularly dust and vacuum your air vents. Consider professional duct cleaning every few years to improve air quality and system efficiency.
