5 Ways to Make Sure Your Air Conditioner is Ready for Fall

October 24, 2016

There are probably some things you do to get yourself ready for fall in Tucson, like hang up your long sleeved shirts and think through your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a few things you could possibly forget about while doing your fall prep – like your air conditioner. We’re about to say sayonara to warm weather and we’re diving into cooler months. Along with your annual air conditioner service from Ambient Air, we have three tips that may help keep you comfortable and get your air conditioner ready for the change in season.

  1. Check and Swap Out Your Air Filter
    This is basic advice for every season in Tucson. Before you completely stop using your air conditioner, go swap out your filter from filthy to clean. A filthy filter means your air conditioner has to run harder to keep you comfortable which may negatively affect your comfort and mean higher bills.
  2. Unblock Vents and Registers
    As you’ve moved furniture or brought more into the house, make sure you haven’t blocked any of your vents. A blocked vent has the chance to drive up your utility costs.
  3. Schedule Annual Air Conditioner Service
    Fall is the ideal time in Tucson to get your air conditioner looked at by one of our expert technicians. We will do a thorough inspection of your unit and make sure it will be in good working order for the approaching cooler months in Tucson. Annual air conditioner service can help you get the most out of your air conditioner’s performance, and could also affect the life of your system. Not to mention that a big percentage of the emergency calls we get over these next few months are due to lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every portion of the season in comfort. If you have any questions for us about getting your home ready for fall or need to arrange your regular air conditioner service give the pros at Ambient Air a call at 520-357-4912.
