Easy Heating Maintenance Tasks When Switching from Heat to AC

Summer is not too far away here in Phoenix, Arizona, so the need for heating may end before you know it. While routine maintenance is important throughout the year, there are some important maintenance tasks that should be done before you switch your heat pump from heat to AC. In this week’s blog post, the Phoenix, AZ air conditioning specialists at Goettl have provided you with some of these important tasks so that you can make sure your air conditioner is up to the task when the weather gets hot. Feel free to call us if you have further questions or would like to schedule a service.

Schedule Your Annual Tune-Up

This is perhaps the most important task you can do before switching your heating and AC system from heating mode to cooling mode. Our technicians will help to ensure that your system is working efficiently and that there are no hidden issues. We can also help you by showing you other things you can do to help maintain your system throughout the summer. If you have any concerns or questions about how to properly operate or maintain your system, be sure to ask one of our technicians during the tune-up.

Change Air Filters

While you may have been doing this throughout the winter, it is equally important to make sure your air filters are changed or cleaned before you turn on your AC unit. This helps ensure that there’s enough airflow in the system and keeps it running efficiently. It also helps keep dirt and debris out of the major components and the ductwork. Excessively dirty filters could indicate another hidden problem, so be sure to call a technician if your filters are dirtier than normal.
