Clear away any leaves, sticks, or other debris from around your AC unit to help it run more efficiently. Also make sure to remove the cover on the AC condenser before you power it on.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean the air conditioner filter<\/strong>: One of the most important things you can do for your AC is to clean the air filter. A dirty air filter can cause your AC to work harder and use more energy, which can lead to higher utility bills.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean the coils<\/strong>: The condenser coils can get clogged with dirt as they are exposed to outdoor elements. Clean the coil using a soft brush, household detergent, or a commercial cleaner.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the insulation<\/strong>: If your home does not have adequate insulation, your AC may struggle to keep you cool during the summer months. Your should also inspect the insulation around your air conditioner ducts to make sure there are no gaps or cracks that could allow cool air to escape. If necessary, add more insulation to help keep your home cool and comfortable all summer long.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Set the thermostat<\/strong>: One of the most important things in the AC maintenance checklist is to set the thermostat after powering on your system. If you do not set the thermostat, the AC will not cool the room to the temperature that you want it to be. Using a programmable thermostat will help you save energy. Set it to &#8216;cool&#8217; and turn it on to check if the thermostat and the AC units are working properly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_Out_for_Signs_of_AC_Trouble\"><\/span>Watch Out for Signs of AC Trouble<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ac-maintenance-checklist-2-300x207.jpg\" alt=\"Spring AC Maintenance Checklist\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-10947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ac-maintenance-checklist-2-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ac-maintenance-checklist-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Air conditioner maintenance is not just a onetime thing, so another key part of any AC maintenance checklist is to keep an eye out for signs of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/troubleshooting-common-hvac-problems\/\">HVAC problems<\/a>. From water leakage and improper drainage to strange noises, these signs of trouble warrant an inspection from a St. Louis HVAC professional.
