Don't Neglect Your Air Conditioner

November 16, 2015

While the environment is still changing in Knoxville, it’s about time to think about preparing your air conditioner for the off season. Whether it’s with air conditioner service or by taking a couple basic steps before the temperatures drop for good, you can help make sure your air conditioner is prepped to perform properly when it warms up again.

  1. Now is the time to think about setting up air conditioner seasonal maintenance. Do it while it’s still mild, and not when the temperatures drop in Knoxville. Arranging a Precision Tune-Up now can help you take care of a number of critical air conditioner service and safety checks if needed, like the inspection of electrical connections, equipment cleaning and changing your air filter —just to name a couple. You can schedule it while receiving your yearly furnace check up.

  2. Consider adding foam pipe covers for any of your uncovered exterior pipes. Foam pipe covers could be a big help in preventing your pipes from freezing when the temperatures go down.

  3. Clear the area surrounding your air conditioner to ensure there isn’t debris or leaves that could harm the performance of your air conditioner or the air conditioner technicians completing your air conditioner service. This is something you can do throughout the year, so aim to keep two to three feet of space around the air conditioner uninhibited from debris.

These are just three tips to help you get your air conditioner ready for some off time this time of year. With seasons changing, it’s important to keep your unused system in mind so that it can start strong when you start utilizing it when it warms up.
