Homeowners Should Check Their Air Conditioning to Make Sure it Works (Part 2)

Is the Unit Blocked?
Leaves, mown grass, debris blown by the wind and weeds love to snuggle up to your outdoor unit. They also block the flow of air meant to cool your house. Rake away and bag up any debris around the unit. Sometimes hosing off the unit will remove dirt inside the unit. If it doesn’t, use a wet cloth to wipe down the fan blades and coils. Home improvement stores and hardware stores sell commercially prepared cleansers for this purpose if wet cloths don’t do it.

Has the Unit Been Tuned Up?
You wouldn’t run your car into the ground without having a mechanic giving it regular tune-ups, would you? Why would you do that with your air conditioning in Smithtown NY? A properly tuned and maintained air conditioner will turn on every time and deliver cool air all day. Right now would be a good time to get the pros to do maintenance on your unit. When summer comes, you can flip the switch without worrying that the unit won’t come on. If it seems ludicrous to check out the air conditioner in single-digit weather, it would be just as bad to wait until one hundred degree weather to find out there is a problem.
