5 Ways to Make Sure Your Air Conditioner is Ready for Fall

October 24, 2016

There are undoubtedly some things you do to get yourself prepped for fall in Cottonwood & Prescott, like swap out your closet and plan your Instagram-worthy pumpkin carving. There are a few things you may forget about while doing your fall prep – like your air conditioner. We’re about to say goodbye to warm weather and we’re headed into cooler months. Along with your regular air conditioner service from Connolly Electric & Mechanical, we have a few tips that can help keep you comfortable and get your air conditioner prepared for the change in season.

  1. Check and Change Your Air Filter
    This is easy advice for every season in Cottonwood & Prescott. Before you completely stop using your air conditioner, go change out your filter from dirty to clean. A filthy filter means your air conditioner has to work harder to keep you comfortable which can negatively affect your comfort and mean higher bills.
  2. Unblock Vents and Registers
    As you’ve rearranged furniture or brought more into the house, be sure you haven’t blocked any of your vents. A blocked vent could raise your utility expenses.
  3. Schedule Annual Air Conditioner Service
    Fall is the perfect time in Cottonwood & Prescott to get your air conditioner inspected by one of our professional technicians. We will do a thorough inspection of your unit and ensure it will be in good working order for the coming cooler months in Cottonwood & Prescott. Regular air conditioner service can help you get the most out of your air conditioner’s performance, and may also play a role in the life of your system. Not to mention that a large percentage of the emergency calls we get over these next few months are a result of a lack of maintenance.

We want you to enjoy every bit of the season in comfort. If you have any questions for us about getting your home ready for fall or need to arrange your annual air conditioner service give the experts at Connolly Electric & Mechanical a call at 928-251-4327.
