Preparing Your Air Conditioner for the Summer


Summers in Ontario are often hot and can be miserable if you don’t have a properly working HVAC unit. However, for efficient and reliable HVAC services in the Greater Toronto Area, there are a few measures you can take to keep your air conditioner ready for the hot months. Below are a few at-home HVAC maintenance measures that can help keep your home comfortable and cool during the summer.

Filter Replacement
Cleaning and replacing filters is one of the involving, yet essential maintenance tasks that a homeowner can do to their air conditioner. Filters often become clogged with dirt and dust after continued use, which can restrict the flow of air. So, it is wise to inspect your air conditioner’s filter before the hot months get underway to ensure efficiency. It may be necessary to change the filter more often, depending on factors such as pets, allergies, and the type of HVAC unit.

Schedule for AC Tune-Up
Scheduling HVAC services in the Greater Toronto Area is by far the surest way to keep your AC at its peak performance. During the inspection, your AC professional will look at all the components of your cooling system to ensure everything is just fine ahead of the summer. Regular tune-ups allow a technician to spot any minor repair before it develops into a catastrophe.

Why Is It Important to Prepare Your Air Conditioner for Summer
Preparing your air conditioner for the summer can help keep your unit at its optimal performance. Also, spring maintenance ensures that the AC is properly lubricated and clean after the harsh winter months. Preparation can also help prevent breakdowns, which are common during the scorching summer heat. Preparing your AC for the summer will help keep your home comfortably by eliminating any built-up dust and unclogging air filters.

Consequences of Not Preparing Your AC for Summer
Neglecting the maintenance of your AC unit ahead of summer can result in costly problems. Having a faulty AC during the summer can lead to a chain of mechanical issues, including discomfort, downtime, declined property value, high humidity, and reduced rental income. So, it would help if you were proactive so that you save money and time and keep your AC at peak performance.

  • Why should I maintain my Furnace or AC?

    An annual maintenance will extend the lifetime of your heating and cooling unit. The technician will diagnose and repair any problem with the unit before it fails, so you won't need to worry about any problems when the weather gets very hot in the summer or extremely cold in the winter.

  • Water is Leaking on my Furnace

    Water falling on to the furnace can harm your heating unit by affecting the control boards and other components enclosed in the furnace. There can be many causes to the water overflow, but the most common cases in the summer is the ice build up inside the evaporator coil due to low refrigerant level. Water build up can also be due to the evaporator coil having a crack on the base, if this is the case contact us by booking an appointment or call us today to have a technician come have a look at your unit and repair this issue before it causes excessive damage.  

  • Why is there ice building up on the copper pipes?

    There can be many reasons why the refrigerant pipes are freezing up but the most common issue is low refrigerant levels. If your AC unit has ice buildup turn off the unit for at least 4 hours and call us at 416-410-0337

  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.
