6 Essential Tips for Air Conditioning Maintenance
Summer is here, and with it comes the need for a reliable air conditioning system.
Similar to other appliances, your air conditioner requires routine maintenance to guarantee optimal performance and longevity.
Proper air conditioning maintenance can also save you money on energy bills and prevent costly repairs down the line.
In this article, you will find six essential tips to keep your air conditioning system running smoothly all summer long.
Why Is Air Conditioning Maintenance Important?
Before we dive into the tips, let’s first understand why air conditioning maintenance is crucial.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Regular maintenance ensures that your air conditioning system is running at its peak efficiency. This means it will use less energy to cool your home, resulting in lower energy bills.
Prolonged Lifespan
Just like any other appliance, your air conditioner has a limited lifespan. However, with proper maintenance, you can extend its lifespan and save money on costly replacements.
Prevent Costly Repairs
Regular maintenance can help identify and fix minor issues before they turn into major problems. This can save you from expensive repairs and replacements down the line.
1. Change Your Air Filters Regularly
One of the most crucial steps in air conditioning maintenance is changing your air filters regularly. Dirty air filters can restrict airflow, making your system work harder and use more energy. They can also lead to poor indoor air quality and cause your system to overheat.
Experts recommend changing your air filters every one to three months, depending on your usage and the type of filter you have. If you have pets or allergies, you may need to change them more frequently.
2. Clean the Condenser Coils
The condenser coils are responsible for releasing heat from your air conditioning system. Over time, these coils can become dirty and covered in debris, making it harder for them to release heat. This can cause your system to work harder and use more energy.
To clean the condenser coils, turn off the power to your air conditioning system and remove any debris or vegetation around the unit. Then, use a garden hose to gently spray the coils and remove any dirt or debris.
3. Check the Refrigerant Levels
Refrigerant is the substance that cools the air in your air conditioning system. If your system is low on refrigerant, it can cause your system to work harder and use more energy. It can also lead to costly repairs down the line.
To check the refrigerant levels, you’ll need to hire a professional HVAC technician. They will use specialized tools to measure the levels and add more refrigerant if needed.
4. Inspect and Clean the Ductwork
The thermostat is the control center of your air conditioning system.
If your system is not functioning properly, it will lead to inefficiency in cooling your home. This lack of correct functionality means that your system is unable to effectively and efficiently regulate the temperature of your living space, resulting in decreased cooling performance.
That’s why it’s essential to check your thermostat regularly and replace the batteries if needed.
You should also make sure your thermostat is placed away from any heat sources, such as direct sunlight or appliances, as this can affect its accuracy.
5. Goodman AC Maintenance

6. Schedule Professional Maintenance
While there are many steps you can take to maintain your air conditioning system, it’s essential to schedule regular professional maintenance. A professional HVAC technician can inspect your system, identify any potential issues, and perform any necessary air conditioning repairs or maintenance.
Experts recommend scheduling professional maintenance at least once a year, preferably before the start of the summer season. This will ensure your system is running efficiently and help prevent any costly repairs down the line.
Conclusion
Proper air conditioning maintenance is crucial for keeping your system running efficiently and prolonging its lifespan. By following these six essential tips, you can save money on energy bills, prevent costly repairs, and ensure your home stays cool and comfortable all summer long.
Remember to change your air filters regularly, clean the condenser coils, check the refrigerant levels, inspect and clean the ductwork, check the thermostat, and schedule regular professional maintenance. With these tips, you can enjoy a cool and comfortable home without breaking the bank.

Rudi Chi2023-01-06Our experience with Ranger HVAC was great. Our ground level HVAC system crashed after 20 years in the middle of a heatwave, in 2022. We called and scheduled a appointment for an estimate on a new system, Mike came out and explained all our options and helped us to pick the best system for us and our home. He was very professional and thorough. The whole experience was great and we would recommend Ranger HVAC to our friends and family. The workers that came out and installed the system were extremely nice and cleaned up after they were finished and were very informative about the whole new world of smart HVAC systems. The office support kept us informed of all the visits and invoices were completed electronically. Update We were so satisfied with Ranger's customer service that, four months later, when our 2nd HVAC system in the attic crashed on the new year's eve, after 20 years, we called Mike to install a new one. We couldn't be more happy with the results. Jennifer and Rudy
Kennedy Agyeman2022-11-16My heating system stopped working and a good friend of mine advised to me reach out to Ranger HVAC. The company representative responded in a timely manner and the diagnostic indicated issue with my blower motor, which required replacement. Ranger HVAC team brought in a new motor and replaced it at precise scheduled time with no delay.
Yolene Henry2022-10-26Ranger HVAC installed a new HVAC system at my house yesterday. The company did an excellent job communicating with me from the time I requested a free estimate to the morning they arrived on site. They were careful to cover all the traffic areas and wore shoe covers. A team of three, including Michael the leader, completed the install to my satisfaction. They were patient to answer all my questions. I selected Ranger HVAC based on their knowledge, fair price, and honesty. Michael, who gave me the estimate, spoke from experience, having been himself an HVAC technician. The company didn't try to sell me what I didn't need. I felt that the information I received could be trusted. And indeed they delivered as promised! I am very pleased with the install and I highly recommend this company. Thank you Ranger HVAC for a job well done!
Jill Perrott2022-10-15I had my HVAC ducts cleaned by Ranger HVAC this past week and was so impressed by their work. I saw what a comprehensive process it is and I’m very pleased with the result. Staff always cover their feet when in your home and are very careful when removing and replacing the vent covers and moving their ladders and equipment around. Very fair price as well. Thanks to Sean, Kofi, and Paul for a thorough job well done. I have already recommended Ranger to a couple of friends and will be contacting Ranger for any future HVAC issues.
James Thomas2022-10-10I placed a phone call inquiring about VA HVAC licensing and the woman that I spoke with helped me figure out what to do. Very professional and pleasant to talk with!!!!
Poya Sharifaie2022-08-19They came out and fixed the issue within 2 hours. Last company had us waiting for a month and half. I would use Ranger HVAC anytime.

gyan manu2022-07-17Ranger HVAV responded to our needs and executed the job in the most professional way! Exceeded our expectations.
Definitely a very good experience. If you're interested, the service is exactly what he says it is; he clearly explains everything he does and you can tell he's being sincere. He isn't pressuring you or trying to upsell you. Just an honest, high-caliber effort. Highly advised.
Customer
He did a fantastic job cleaning and inspecting my commercial AC unit. He made suggestions that I was completely unaware of regarding how to improve circulation and air flow as well as how to minimise my use of electricity during the summer. Excellent rates and service. Once more, many thanks!
Google Review
He is the top in his field! Without having to be at 69 degrees, the AC functions better than before. Additionally, because the heater is so hot, we don't need to turn it up all the way, which saves us money.
Customer
The crew was excellent, and I'm glad I found them since they are nice, down-to-earth people who didn't try to upsell me on items I didn't need instead of telling me about innovations that would make life better for my allergic relatives. All Degree Comfort comes highly recommended.
