Tips To Clean Your Air Conditioner Cleaning This Spring

The arrival of spring is not just about the flowers blooming and the weather getting warmer. It also signals the time to plan your home cleaning and maintenance routine. One area to focus on is your air conditioner; after all, you’ll want to make sure it is in good condition, especially when the summer months come. In this guide, HVAC and solar panel company Green Air Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. walks you through some simple yet effective steps to clean your AC system and get it ready for the season ahead.

Change The Air Filters

One of the easiest and most important tasks that you can do for your AC system is to change its filter. Over time, it can become clogged with dust, dirt, and debris, restricting airflow and reducing the system’s efficiency. Clean or replace filters every after one to three months, or according to manufacturer recommendations.

Clear The Surrounding Area

The surrounding area where the outdoor unit is situated must be clear of debris, vegetation, and other obstructions. HVAC contractors recommend trimming foliage growing near it, and maintaining at least two feet of clearance to allow for proper airflow and ventilation.

Clean The Outdoor Unit

Your AC system’s outdoor unit, also known as the condenser unit, tends to accumulate dirt, leaves, and other debris. This can hinder airflow and reduce the system’s efficiency. Use a garden hose to gently spray the unit from the top down to get rid of any dirt and debris. Steer clear of the pressure washer to protect the outdoor unit’s delicate components.

Check And Clean The Vents And Registers

Once you’re done cleaning the outdoor unit, make sure you inspect the vents and registers inside each room. If it needs cleaning, use a vacuum or duster to remove any dust or debris. Move furniture or any of your belongings inside the rooms if necessary so the vents and registers remain unobstructed.

The tips listed above are things you can do on your own to keep your AC system in good shape. Of course, that isn’t the end of it — be sure to schedule professional maintenance this spring. A certified HVAC technician can thoroughly inspect and tune up your system, identifying any potential issues before they escalate and ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency.

For that, you can turn to Green Air Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. We’re your partner in keeping your HVAC system running smoothly year-round. Count on us for your solar installation needs as well. Call us, or fill out our contact form to schedule an appointment.

Nick is very well educated on the products industry. He has been in the industry for years now and knows more than anyone else I have spoken to. Its very refreshing to have the owner of the company come out to talk to you about your options compared to a door to door sales guy who cant even answer the most basic questions. Im very happy with the service and attention to detail.

These guys actually know what they are doing and do what they say they are going to do. They are capable in many areas including installing solar panels, Tesla batteries and also HVAC. They complete the whole job with their own employees rather than using outside contractors. We were really pleased with the results on three separate jobs. Thanks.

Nick and Green Air installed our Solar One year ago, it has exceeded its projected output and works great! The work was started and completed on time and Green Air completed all the extra work such as getting permits from the city of Benicia. Green Air employees cleaned up their work site daily and they were a pleasure to work with. I love the fact that we have shrunk our carbon footprint.
