At Bradley Heating & Air Conditioning, we understand that managing your home’s comfort throughout the year can be challenging in our unique climate. Here’s a seasonal guide to help you maintain your HVAC system and keep your home comfortable all year round.
Spring: Preparing for the Heat
As temperatures start to rise, it’s crucial to prepare your air conditioning system for the upcoming summer months:
- Schedule a professional AC tune-up
- Clean or replace air filters
- Clear debris from around outdoor units
- Test your thermostat for accuracy
Summer: Peak AC Season
Summer in South Florida means your air conditioner will be working overtime. To ensure optimal performance:
- Set your thermostat to a higher temperature when away
- Use ceiling fans to improve air circulation
- Keep an eye out for signs of AC troubles, such as unusual noises or inadequate cooling
- Consider an air conditioning installation if your system is aging
Fall: Transitional Maintenance
While fall is milder, it’s an excellent time for maintenance:
- Schedule a comprehensive HVAC inspection
- Clean air ducts to improve indoor air quality
- Check for any air leaks around windows and doors
