Don’t Forget to Care for Your Air Conditioner This Winter in Austin

While the environment is still fluxuating in Austin, it’s about time to get your air conditioner ready for the off season. Whether it’s with air conditioner service or by taking a couple simple steps before the temperatures drop for the last time, you can help ensure your air conditioner is ready to perform properly when it gets warm again.

1. Now is the time to consider setting up annual air conditioner service. Do it while it’s still mild, and not when the temperatures drop in Austin. Setting up a Precision Tune-Up now can help you take care of a host of crucial air conditioner service and safety checks if needed, such as the inspection of electrical connections, equipment cleaning and swapping out your air filter —just to name a couple.
   
   
2. Ponder adding foam pipe covers for any of your uncovered exterior pipes. Foam pipe covers can be a big help in saving your pipes from freezing when the temperatures change.
   
   
3. Clear the area near your air conditioner to be sure there isn’t debris or leaves that could diminish the performance of your air conditioner or the technician completing your air conditioner service. This is something you can do throughout the year, so try to keep two to three feet of space around the air conditioner clear from debris.

These are just a few tips to help you get your air conditioner ready for some off time this time of year. With seasons transitioning, it’s critical to keep your unused system in mind so that it can start strong when you begin utilizing it when it gets warmer.
