It really is helpful to give your system a practice run ASAP. You don’t want your air conditioner to shutdown on the most blistering day of the year and make your home uncomfortable. Instead, positioning your thermostat to its cooling mode and permitting it to run, even for a few minutes, will be a great check that can save you a lot of future problems. Confirm that cool air is blowing into your home, and if it’s not, here are a couple of things to inspect before calling the pros at Titan Heating & Air Conditioning:
- Make sure your system was set to cool. It’s a common mistake and one that is made frequently, but if you haven’t flipped your thermostat from the heat setting, cool air won’t be blowing. Simple issue, easy solution!
- Check the unit outside. Reassess to see if there are any obstructions around your system, such as debris or dirt, that can block your air flow and cool air production.
- Change your filters. As you’ve heard before, this step is vital to enhancing the work of your air conditioning system. With fresh and new filters, your cool air will be cleaner and it will establish an comfortable environment for air to flow through.
Once you’ve tested things out – your system is set to cool, and the unit and filters are clean – and you still aren’t feeling any cool air, it’s time to call in the specialists if there are problems. Regular air conditioner service should be on your radar right now anyhow, so now is the best time to check up on every aspect of your system before the summer hits. The experts at Titan Heating & Air Conditioning will not only fix the current problem at hand, but they will also deal with any small possible future issues that could turn into bigger concerns later.
