Schedule AC tune-up
Short answer
Book a licensed HVAC technician in spring, before peak demand, to check refrigerant, clean coils, and verify electrical components.
Why It Matters
A neglected AC loses efficiency and is more likely to fail in peak summer, when techs are booked weeks out.
How to Do It
- Schedule the appointment in early spring, before temperatures rise and technician availability tightens.
- When booking, confirm the tech is licensed and ask that the visit include refrigerant level check, coil cleaning, and electrical component inspection.
- Clear the area around the outdoor condenser unit so the technician has unobstructed access.
- After the visit, ask the technician to walk you through any findings and confirm the system is ready for the cooling season.
