One unpleasant surprise that can ruin a warm summer’s day in Franklin & South Indy is a failing air conditioner. Your home 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 sad situation. This condition calls for an air conditioning service, and you’ve got more fun things to do with your vacation time than wait for your AC to get fixed. So, how can you stop 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 repair, why not plan ahead and arrange preventive maintenance?

A preventive AC maintenance appointment performed by the pros at Winters Heating and Cooling is your first and greatest line of defense against lots of problems that can cause an AC failure—and the resulting miserable summer days. We’ll ensure that everything is running as it should and check for things that could be likely problems down the road. We’ll take care of those budding problems before they grow into costlier problems that leave you in the scorching heat of summer.

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

  • Regularly checking and switching your air filter to keep air flowing efficiently through your space.
  • Confirming 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 in its life.
