Your air conditioner works hard—especially during Connecticut’s hot and humid summers. But without regular maintenance, even the best AC systems can lose efficiency, wear out faster, and break down when you need them most.
At Edgerton Heating & Air Conditioning, we’ve helped Fairfield County families stay cool since 1956. Here’s what smart homeowners do to keep their AC systems in peak shape.
1. Change Your Filters Regularly
Dirty filters reduce airflow, strain your system, and hurt your indoor air quality. Replace filters every 1–3 months, especially in summer. Not sure which filter your system needs? We can help.
2. Check Your Thermostat Settings
Make sure your thermostat is working properly and located away from heat sources like windows or lamps. Upgrading to a smart thermostat can boost efficiency and help you monitor usage.
3. Clean the Outdoor Unit
Leaves, dirt, and debris can clog your outdoor condenser and cause overheating. Gently clear away buildup and trim plants or bushes within 2 feet of the unit.
4. Schedule Annual Professional Maintenance
A professional tune-up ensures your system is running efficiently and helps prevent surprise breakdowns. During a maintenance visit, we’ll:
- Inspect all electrical connections
- Test refrigerant levels
- Lubricate moving parts
- Clean evaporator and condenser coils
- Calibrate thermostat settings
- And more
Our Preventative Maintenance Plan includes this service and more—at an affordable yearly rate.
5. Know When It’s Time to Upgrade
If your AC is over 10–15 years old, struggling to cool your home, or needing constant repairs, it may be time to consider a high-efficiency replacement. We offer free quotes and flexible financing to make the process simple.
