Why Get an Air Conditioning Tune-Up in the Spring?

Over time, your air conditioning unit accumulates dust, dirt, and debris, hindering its efficiency and driving up your utility bills. Our experience shows that many of these problems could be avoided with professional tune-ups and maintenance.

For Las Vegans, a spring tune-up is particularly crucial. After months of dormancy during fall and winter, your AC needs a professional inspection and tune-up before facing the scorching summer heat. Running your unit with worn-out parts, low coolant levels, or unlubricated components can lead to malfunctions and costly repairs.

Investing in a spring tune-up is a proactive step towards preventing breakdowns, extending your unit’s lifespan, and ensuring optimal efficiency. Don’t wait until it’s too late – schedule your AC tune-up today and enjoy a worry-free summer.

Fall Air Conditioning Tune-Up Checklist

The fall tune-up is equally important. Especially units running excessively to help cool us in extreme, scorching temperatures like we experience every summer in the Las Vegas Valley. When any appliance is continually running, it increases the wear and tear on the various elements that keep the air conditioner in working order. Having our skillful technicians conduct the fall tune-up can get your air conditioning unit ready for hibernation. With fresh replacement parts, if needed, and thorough cleaning, your unit will be better prepared to endure the off-season.

Our tune-ups consist of, but are not limited to, the following:

• Inspection of coolant levels and pressure, and adjustments made if needed
• The proper cycles and temperatures are checked, and thermostat(s) are calibrated
• Investigation of wiring, contacts, capacitors, and relays to ensure they are tightened and secure
• Thorough cleaning of the evaporator coils
• The condensate drain is cleared of any potential buildup or clogs
• The condenser is meticulously wiped down
• The outdoor disconnect is inspected
• Condenser fan blades and motor are lubricated if needed and surveyed for efficiency
• Compressor amps and start-up are checked in detail for any signs of deterioration
• Execution of safety and performance

How to Change or Clean an AC Filter

How to Change an AC Filter

Changing your AC filter is a simple yet crucial task to maintain the efficiency and longevity of your unit. 

Here is a step-by-step guide to help you:

1. Turn off the power: Ensure the AC unit is off before starting. Switch it off at the thermostat or circuit breaker.
2. Locate the filter: Typically found in the return air duct or blower compartment. Check your unit’s manual if unsure.
3. Remove the old filter: Slide out the old filter. Note the arrow direction for airflow.
4. Check the new filter: Ensure it matches the unit’s specifications and has the correct MERV rating.
5. Install the new filter: Insert the filter according to the airflow arrows pointing toward the blower.
6. Restore power: Turn the AC unit back on at the thermostat or circuit breaker.
7. Set a reminder: Change the filter every 1-3 months and set a reminder to stay on schedule.

How to Clean an AC Filter

Cleaning your AC filter can be an effective way to maintain your unit if it uses reusable filters. 

Follow these steps to clean your filter:

1. Turn off the power: turn off the AC unit at the thermostat or circuit breaker. 
2. Locate and remove the filter: locate the return air duct or blower compartment and remove the filter. 
3. Vacuum the filter: use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove loose dust and debris. 
4. Wash the filter: rinse the filter with lukewarm water, avoiding hot water. 
5. Use soap if necessary: if the filter is very dirty, use mild dish soap and a soft brush. 
6. Rinse thoroughly: ensure all soap is rinsed out to avoid affecting AC performance. 
7. Dry the filter: air dry completely to prevent mold or mildew. 
8. Reinstall the filter: place the dry filter back into its slot securely. 
9. Restore power: turn the AC unit back on and check for proper operation.

Regularly adhering to these instructions will keep your AC system running efficiently and help extend its lifespan. If you require further assistance or prefer to have a professional handle the maintenance, don’t hesitate to contact Air Supply.
