Ottsville, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/30/2017 -- September may be approaching, but according to Cooper Mechanical, provider of HVAC and plumbing services in the Doylestown area for over 40 years, homeowners still need to keep their AC systems in top shape to beat the summer heat. The local HVAC and plumbing experts offered a few tips on DIY AC maintenance, as well as advice on when to call a professional.
Cooper Mechanical advises their customers to keep AC units working at top capacity by visually checking their equipment. AC units in Newtown and the rest of Cooper Mechanical's service area should be checked both inside and out for signs of leaks or blockages.
For example, homeowners should make sure that their outdoor condensing units are not overtaken by backyard foliage, which could hinder the condenser's operation. Homeowners should also check that their indoor AC vents are free from dust and unobstructed by furniture. Lastly, since air conditioners usually drain about 10 gallons of moisture over the course of a day, homeowners should make sure that there is no water on or surrounding their equipment.
Cooper Mechanical also advises homeowners to check their AC system's air filter ahead of the fall allergy season. A clean air filter can prevent severe allergy symptoms; additionally, installing high-quality air filtration and purification equipment will provide further relief from air pollutants.
Finally, homeowners should know the signs of a failing AC system. If air conditioning equipment is not maintaining a cool temperature, is more than ten years old, or yields higher-than-usual energy bills, Cooper Mechanical advises homeowners to call their team of HVAC technicians for an inspection.
