Summer HVAC Checklist

June 4, 2020


With the upcoming summer weather, the season of outdoor fun and worry-free living is amongst us. With things heating up outside, the last thing you want is for your HVAC system to take a turn for the worst. When your air conditioning system hasn’t been maintained for the summer season you could be looking at an uncomfortable hot home, costly repairs, and even water damage.

That is why it is ever so important to have a summer HVAC checklist so you can be sure your HVAC system won’t let you down this summer. Find out what to do to keep your air conditioning system maintained and ready for the hot weather below!

Summer HVAC Checklist

Turn On Your System Before The Heat

There’s nothing worse than an impending heat wave while your HVAC system isn’t running properly. So, make sure you test your air conditioner before the real heat of the season begins. You’ll want to turn on your system and test to see if it can cool your home down and maintain the temperature setting.

If you notice your system is struggling to run during this test be sure to call our HVAC professional who can help diagnose any problems.

Replace Air Filters Per Manufacturer’s Recommendation

Air filters are an important aspect of your indoor air conditioning system. Your HVAC system’s air filter works diligently to block dust and debris, both big and small, from entering your home’s airways. They come in many different makes and models, so you will want to be sure to have the right size for your air conditioner. Plus, depending on manufacturer recommendations air filters need to be changed out frequently with most being every 30 days.

When an air filter hasn’t been replaced, many problems with your system can arise like indoor water leakage. Contacting our HVAC professional will help you determine which size filter partners with your HVAC system.

Schedule Annual Maintenance Service

There are some small tasks you can do at home to help get your HVAC system ready for summer, like cleaning winter debris around the outdoor compressor, but other preventive procedures should be completed by an HVAC professional. A seasonal maintenance service will be performed by a professional to check your HVAC system’s mechanical and electrical components, system refrigerant charge, and cleanliness of parts.

Proof We’re the Best HVAC Company Straight From Our Customers

  • Didn’t Push a Furnace Replacement
    Taylor D.
    Tom, the owner was awesome. He came out immediately when our furnace went out and completed a challenging fix. When I asked if I should replace the furnace he said no. Honest and did outstanding work. Furnace is quieter and seems to be running better than when we moved in!
  • Highly Recommended for AC Replacement
    Jeremiah D.
    Tom came over and thoroughly discussed my options. We discussed at length the pros and cons of the most expensive and least expensive options, and came up with a fair price for the products I chose. The crew showed up on time and finished the same day, and was easy to deal with. The new furnace heats my house so much better than the old one. I would definitely use Master Mechanical again. And I have. I’ve now replaced multiple furnaces and AC units using Tom and his crew at Master Mechanical, and would use them again.
  • Quick AC Fix During a Power Surge
    Jim P.
    Master Mechanical responded quickly when our AC failed following a power surge. They quickly diagnosed the problem, and responded patiently to my uninformed consumer questions. Once the team arrived to complete the repair work, they were professional and again, knowledgeable. Prices were fair, and they followed up with me after work was completed. Overall a great company!
  • Last Minute AC Repair
    Rupal P.
    Master Mechanical is an amazing company! I called last minute (per my friend's recommendation) since my ac broke yesterday. Victor was friendly, fast and explained everything and he ended up fixing my issue---thank you! Highly recommend Services A/C system repair.
  • Two Great HVAC Experiences
    Bill L.
    Did an excellent job on two repairs. The first was an emergency call for a furnace repair when it was 4 degrees F outside. They showed up on time, diagnosed the problem, went for parts, repaired the furnace all in about an hours time. The second repair was for the whole house humidifier attached to the furnace. It was a minor issue and corrected in less than 40 minutes. Everything is working great. My experience with their work is excellent.
