The Name You Trust for your
AC Maintenance

Here in Salt Lake, the summers can be very long and hot, with highs over 90 degrees. Not to mention, summers can be very muggy as well, which can make it feel even more unbearable.

For these reasons, you want to make sure your AC unit is in tip-top shape, no matter what time of the year it is. This is entirely possible if you keep up with maintenance.

To learn more about air conditioner maintenance schedule and other related subjects, read on. We're here to explain everything in detail for you!

By now, you're probably wondering what you need to do to perform good AC maintenance in Salt Lake City. We're here to provide you with a checklist of important items, some of which you can do yourself! As for the others, rely on HVAC experts to do it for you.

Change the Air Filter

The air filter is what keeps your AC running smoothly and efficiently. Naturally, over time, it'll get a buildup of things like dust, pollen, and other pollutants. This is why it's important that you change it out regularly.

In general, replace the air filter every 3 months; this is something easy you can do yourself. Take the filter out and look at it against some light. If no light is getting through, then it's definitely time to change it.

If there have been extreme weather conditions that have made the air quality less than desirable, then you might have to check and change the air filter more often. Homes with lots of foot traffic (due to people and pets) should also check and change more often.

Inspect the Drain

It's not uncommon to see a buildup of mold and algae in your HVAC drain. The technician will inspect and also unclog the drain if necessary.

Clean the Evaporator and Condenser Coils

Over time, dirt, dust, and other debris can accumulate on the evaporator and condenser coils. You can clean them off yourself or have an HVAC technician do it if you're not comfortable with it.

Clean the Fins

There are fins on the coils that might get bent. An HVAC expert can both straighten and clean these fins so you get maximum airflow.

Check of Overall System

A professional can check the following for you while on your property:

• Refrigerant (amount and if there are leaks)

• Airflow (seal any leaks that are found)

• Control board (see if it's 100% operational)
