☀️ Pre-Summer AC Maintenance Checklist | Orange County HVAC Tips

Getting ready for the summer heat in Orange County? Before temperatures rise, it’s important to make sure your air conditioner is clean, tuned, and ready to cool your home.

At GoTech Air Conditioning & Heating, we’ve created a simple AC maintenance checklist that helps Orange County homeowners keep their systems efficient and reliable all season long.

🧾 Pre-Summer AC Maintenance Checklist

1. Replace or Clean Air Filters

  • Replace filters every 1–3 months.

  • Clean filters improve airflow, reduce energy use, and help prevent breakdowns.

2. Check Thermostat Settings

  • Make sure your thermostat is set to “Cool” mode and test it before the hot days arrive.

  • Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat for better control and lower energy bills.

3. Inspect the Outdoor Unit

  • Remove leaves, dust, and debris around the condenser.

  • Ensure at least 2 feet of clearance around the unit for proper airflow.

4. Clean the Condenser Coils

  • Dust and debris on coils reduce cooling efficiency.

  • Annual professional coil cleaning helps maintain performance.

5. Inspect Refrigerant Levels

  • Low refrigerant = poor cooling.

  • If levels are low, it could mean a refrigerant leak—call a certified technician immediately.

6. Clear the Condensate Drain

  • A clogged drain can cause water leaks or mold growth.

  • Flush it at least once a year to keep it clear.

7. Inspect Electrical Components

  • Loose wires or worn connections can cause breakdowns.

  • A technician should check all electrical parts during a tune-up.

8. Run a Full System Test

  • Turn on your AC and check:

    • Is cold air blowing through the vents?

    • Are there strange noises?

    • Does the system cycle on and off smoothly?
