HVAC Maintenance and Design Tips for Swimming Pools and Gyms

Air conditioning issues seem to occur when you least expect them. Unfortunately, that's often when you need your AC the most. This means that you might need to call your AC technician. 

These are some steps you should take before you call your air conditioning repair professional. They help make the process simpler and ensure you get your AC up and running once again.

Replace Your AC Filter

One of the most important steps to take before your AC technician arrives is to replace your filter if it has not been replaced for a while. This is a simple task that you can do yourself, and it's also one of the most important steps in maintaining your AC unit.

Make Sure Your Thermostat Is Set Correctly

Your thermostat could be the reason why your unit is acting up. Make sure it is set to "cool" and that the temperature is set lower than the current room temperature. Ensure it is on and that nothing is preventing your unit from working correctly.

Look at Your Outdoor AC Unit

If your outdoor unit is dirty, it can cause problems with your system. Check to see if there are any leaves or debris around the unit. The problem with your unit may become obvious as soon as you look at it. Even if you can't fix the problem, it's a good idea to take a look and see what information you can offer the technician.

Gather Information About the Problem

When you call your air conditioning professional, they will ask you questions about the problem. Be as specific as possible in your answers. It can be helpful to take note of when the problem started, what settings you had the unit on, and what you were doing when the problem occurred.

Create a Clear Path to Your Unit and Thermostat

It's important to make sure there is nothing blocking the path between your front door and your thermostat and that nothing is crowding your outdoor unit. This helps the technician get to all the necessary components in your home so that they can easily fix the problem.

Your AC Technician Can Solve the Problem With Your Help

While your technician will have the tools and expertise needed to fix your AC unit, there are some things you can do to help. These steps make the process simpler and ensure you get your AC unit running once again.
