All Climate Heating & Air Conditioning, a trusted name in the Pacific Northwest, offers expert advice to help you stay cool and prepared for the warm season.

Preventive Maintenance: Your First Line of Defense

Regular maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of your air conditioning unit and preventing costly breakdowns. Here are some essential steps:

• Change or clean air filters regularly to improve airflow and efficiency.
• Clear any debris or vegetation around the outdoor unit to ensure proper airflow.
• Schedule an annual tune-up with a professional HVAC technician to inspect and clean the system thoroughly.

Signs Your AC Unit Needs Repair

Don’t ignore these warning signs that your air conditioner may need professional repair:

• Warm air blowing from vents
• Strange noises or vibrations
• Poor airflow or uneven cooling
• Increased energy bills
• Leaks or moisture around the unit

Addressing issues promptly can prevent further damage and costly replacements.

When to Consider a New Installation

While repairs can often extend the life of your AC unit, there may come a time when a full replacement is more cost-effective. Here are some factors to consider:

• Age of the unit (most units last 10-15 years with proper maintenance)
• Frequent or costly repairs
• Inefficient cooling or high energy bills
• Inadequate sizing for your space

A professional HVAC technician can assess your needs and recommend the best solution.
