Introduction

As summer approaches, ensuring your air conditioning unit is in top condition becomes paramount for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. At Sabre Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we understand the importance of reliable and efficient cooling systems. In this article, we’ll share valuable insights to help you keep your AC running smoothly and extend its lifespan.

Regular Maintenance is Key

Preventive maintenance is crucial for air conditioner repair and optimal performance. Schedule annual tune-ups with our certified technicians to ensure your unit is thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and any potential issues are addressed promptly. Regular maintenance can improve energy efficiency, reduce repair costs, and extend the lifespan of your AC unit.

Air Filter Replacement

Clogged air filters can restrict airflow, strain your system, and decrease efficiency. Be sure to replace or clean your filters every 1-3 months, or more frequently if you have pets or live in a dusty environment. This simple task can significantly impact your AC’s performance and indoor air quality.

Thermostat Settings

Properly setting your thermostat can save energy and money while maintaining a comfortable environment. We recommend keeping your thermostat set at 78°F (25.6°C) or higher during the summer months when the house is occupied. When you’re away, raise the temperature to reduce energy consumption.

Shade and Insulation

• Plant trees or install awnings to shade your home’s exterior and reduce the AC’s workload.
• Ensure proper insulation in your walls, attic, and crawl spaces to prevent cool air from escaping.

Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement

If your AC unit is over 10 years old or experiencing frequent breakdowns, it may be time to consider a replacement. Our team of experts can guide you through the process of selecting and installing a new, energy-efficient system tailored to your home’s needs.
