air conditioning in Doylestown, PA<\/a>, you\u2019ve come to the place for answers. We\u2019ve served homeowners in the area since 1976 and know the best way to maximize home cooling. We\u2019re going to take a deep dive and look at how to get the cooling you want from your air conditioner this season\u2014and the seasons after it.<\/p>\nFirst things first: you may need a new air conditioner<\/h3>\n
If you\u2019re wondering how to get better cooling from your AC because it isn\u2019t cooling as well as it once did, one possibility is that the system is too old. A central air conditioner can usually last between 10 to 15 years. If you\u2019ve had your current AC for more than 15 years, we recommend calling one of our technicians to examine it and offer advice on whether it\u2019s more cost-effective to replace it.<\/p>\n
Schedule routine maintenance<\/h3>\n
This is a must if you want to get the best from your air conditioning system, as well as lower the chance of needing repairs and extending the AC\u2019s service life. You can arrange for spring maintenance for your cooling system with our team. We\u2019ll send an HVAC pro to provide the air conditioner with an inspection to catch where it may need repairs and then give the system a full cleaning and tune-up. The air conditioner will work at peak condition after maintenance.<\/p>\n
Change the air filter every 1 to 3 months<\/h3>\n
During professional maintenance, the technician will change out this filter in the air conditioner. If you don\u2019t know how to do this job, ask the technician to show you\u2014because you\u2019ll have to replace it a few times yourself over the summer. If you leave a filter in place for too long, it will become congested and block airflow, and that means you\u2019ll experience inferior cooling in the house.<\/p>\n
Keep room vents open and unblocked<\/h3>\n
We advise you to tour the rooms in your house before turning on the air conditioner for the season to make sure all the room vents are open and nothing is blocking them. Furniture may have been moved and obstructed one of the vents, or the shutters of the vents closed all the way. (Closing a vent isn\u2019t a way to save money! It will end up hiking the pressure in the HVAC system and causing a drop in airflow.)<\/p>\n
Clear out the area around the condenser and keep it clear<\/h3>\n
The condenser is the outdoor cabinet of the air conditioner, and a part of it that\u2019s easy to put out of your mind. However, the cooling power of the AC, in general, will decline if the cabinet is blocked or dirty. If the condenser can\u2019t easily exhaust heat to the outside, the air conditioner won\u2019t work well. Make sure the cabinet is clear for about a foot on all sides and any nearby plants are trimmed so they\u2019re not too close to the intakes.<\/p>\n
