Acosta Can Get You Ready for the Warm Days Ahead

Maintenance on Your Home Air Conditioning

Here Comes the Heat!  

Get ready, it's coming!  It's hard to believe it's almost that time of year already.  Soon, the winter chill will be a faint memory as we think ahead about the warmer weather coming soon.  It would be wise to assess your cooling needs now.

In recent years, our warmer days in the 80's have arrived earlier so it's time to get ready for the heat which can begin as early as March.  Summers in Charlotte routinely stretch well past the 90s, meaning your air conditioner is going to be working hard for long hours every time the warm months roll around. Is your system prepared to perform at its best?  If not, it's time to call Acosta Heating, Cooling and Electrical to schedule your annual air conditioner maintenance service.

  • Greater home comfort levels.

Quick Tips for Homeowner Air Conditioning Maintenance

Between professional visits, there are some things you can do on your own to boost home comfort, air quality, and the efficiency of your air conditioner system, including:

  • Changing your air filter. In the Charlotte area, an HVAC air filter should be changed every two months at a minimum!
  • Cleaning your duct vents. Blocked vents constrict airflow, which can drastically reduce comfort and increase the workload of your air conditioning system.

How Often Should You Have Your Air Conditioner Serviced?

All cooling systems should be evaluated, cleaned, and optimized by a licensed HVAC technician at least once a year. In the case of an older air conditioner or a system that requires specialized care, the frequency of maintenance visits may increase. However, your air conditioning unit needs maintenance twice a year for optimal operation — once for the warm season and once for the cold season.  Call the experts to get your air conditioners serviced.
