How to Keep Your Air Conditioner from Failing

June 24, 2019

One unpleasant surprise that can wreck a warm summer’s day in Omaha is a failing air conditioner. Your house is normally the cool place you rest when you’ve had enough of the heat outdoors. But when it’s actually WARMER inside than it is outside, it can be a pretty miserable situation. This situation calls for an air conditioning service, and you’ve got better things to do with your summer days than wait for your AC to get fixed. So, how can you avoid an air conditioner failure and take full advantage of your summer? The key to preventing a failure and the avoidable air conditioning service appointment is to be proactive! Instead of an emergency air conditioning call, why not plan ahead and book preventive maintenance?

A preventive AC maintenance appointment performed by the pros at Interstate Heating & Air Conditioning is your first and strongest line of defense against many problems that can cause an AC failure—and the resulting miserable summer days. We’ll make sure that everything is running as it should and check for things that could be potential problems later on. We’ll take care of those potential problems before they grow into costly problems that leave you in the boiling heat of summer.

Some other things you can do to help keep your air conditioner working as it should are:

  • Regularly checking and switching your air filter to keep air flowing efficiently through your house.
  • Ensuring your AC equipment isn’t obstructed by any plant life or debris. Check to ensure that your air returns aren’t covered by furniture or drapery or anything else that could affect airflow. The harder your AC has to work, the less efficient it’ll be—and the more likely it’ll be to break down earlier than it should.

Before things heat up this summer, reach out to Interstate Heating & Air Conditioning to make sure your AC is primed for the challenge! You’ll be glad you did.
