You may have heard all the hype surrounding indoor air quality, and it’s likely that you thought to yourself, “What’s the point?”
We are here to tell you that there certainly is a point to having the right combination of indoor air quality systems in place. As you may have already guessed, improved indoor air quality equals improved health and easier breathing, especially for those with allergies and weakened immune systems. But what else do these systems offer?
If not for your health, consider improving your indoor air quality for your air conditioner. Yes, that’s right: your air conditioner. Your AC can benefit greatly from having the right indoor air quality systems installed, and below, we are going to tell you how (hint: it’ll save you money!). All you have to do is keep reading to find out more!
Spring is officially here, which means that now is the perfect time to prep for summer! Enjoying the perfect summer means stocking up on sunscreen, digging out your change for the ice cream truck, and ensuring that your air conditioner is in good working condition. Of course, taking care of any AC repairs doesn’t quite sound as fun as going bathing suit shopping, but it is important nonetheless. You want to be sure that when you turn on your AC for the first time this year that it is ready to keep you cool and comfortable.
You’re going to be using your air conditioner quite a bit over the next few months, if you aren’t already. All that added usage increases the strain on the system, making it more likely for problems to develop. It also means you’re going to be paying a lot more in terms of energy costs from month to month, unless you take certain steps to increase your air conditioner efficiency. Follow our steps below to make sure that your air conditioner is as healthy and efficient as possible this summer. 
If your air conditioner is old and worn out, you might not be doing yourself any favors by trying to use it through one more summer. The summer season is extremely stressful for air conditioning systems, considering the demand placed on them on a daily basis. If you put your current air conditioner under that amount of stress for an extended period of time, you may not be too happy about what happens. You don’t want your system to break down on you in the middle of the hottest month of the year, after all. Probably the best thing to do, if your air conditioner is getting close to the end of its life, is to replace it as soon as possible. Consider replacing your air conditioner if it fits the following list: 
Summer means higher temperatures, which means more air conditioner runtime, which means more strain on the system, which means a higher chance for problems to show up. Which is not to say that you should just leave your air conditioner off all summer. We wouldn’t want anyone to have to suffer through that. What you should be doing, though, is making sure that you’re on the lookout for any warning signs that your air conditioner is beginning to malfunction in some way. Even with consistent maintenance services, there is still a chance for a problem with your air conditioner to show up between appointments. Have a look at some of the more common air conditioning issues below, and what you should do about them. 
Summer is primetime for air conditioner issues, which makes sense considering how many hours a day the average household uses theirs. If you are relying on your air conditioner to keep cool throughout the daylight hours, you should be especially vigilant for any signs that the system is developing a problem. You can’t completely prevent the possibility of issue occurring, of course. If you react quickly, though, you can at least mitigate the damage with quick repairs. Have a look at some common signs that your AC is in trouble.
