Nobody wants to spend money on a major air conditioner repair. Plus, when your AC isn’t working right, your home is uncomfortable. There are, thankfully, things you can do to help prevent them from occurring.
Regularly Change the Air Filter
The air filter in your HVAC system plays a major role in preventing the need for AC repairs. When it gets too dirty, it prevents proper airflow through your air conditioning system. This will result in extra wear and tear that leads to the AC system breaking down.
You should change the air filter every one to three months. Change it every month if you live in a dusty environment or if you have pets.
Schedule Annual Maintenance
You should have a technician perform annual maintenance on your air conditioner every year. The best time to do so is in the spring before HVAC companies get busy during the summer.
The technician will thoroughly inspect your AC system and clean it. During annual maintenance, they can spot trouble areas before they turn into expensive repair bills. Annual maintenance will keep your AC system operating at its best.

Keep Outdoor Unit Free of Debris
The outdoor unit of your AC system needs proper airflow. To help ensure this, keep trees and plants at least 2-3 feet away from it. Remove debris that falls on and around the unit, such as leaves and branches.
Don’t Ignore Warning Signs
If you see or hear warning signs that your AC isn’t working as it should, don’t put off having a technician look at it. By taking care of problems as soon as possible, you can help prevent further problems from developing.
