DIY AC Maintenance Tips for Homeowners
While professional maintenance is essential for optimal system performance, these homeowner tasks can help maintain efficiency between service visits:
- Replace air filters every 1-3 months during cooling season to maintain proper airflow
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of debris, leaves, and plant growth (maintain at least 2 feet of clearance)
- Ensure all supply and return vents inside your home remain unobstructed by furniture or drapes
- Monitor system performance and note any changes in cooling effectiveness or unusual sounds
- Check thermostat batteries annually and replace as needed to prevent communication issues
These simple steps complement professional maintenance but don’t replace the need for expert service that addresses internal components and technical adjustments.
