The hot summer months call for an optimally functioning air conditioner. It's no secret: a well-maintained air conditioner not only provides cooling, but also reduces energy consumption and creates a healthier indoor environment. At AeroConsult we believe that preparation is half the battle. That's why in this blog we give you a comprehensive summer checklist that starts as early as June. So you can be sure of a carefree summer in which your air conditioner is functioning at its best.
1. Checking and replacing air filters
As soon as the first warm days arrive, it's time to pay attention to your air conditioner's air filter. A clean or good replacement filter ensures optimal airflow and prevents dust, pollen and mold spores from accumulating in your indoor space. Begin a thorough checkup in June and replace filters as needed. Regular replacement, especially with air pollution or if you have pets, also keeps your system working efficiently and prevents overloading.
2. Settings and thermostat control
An ideal temperature setting is important for energy efficiency and comfort. Start in June by testing the operation of your air conditioner. Run the air conditioner for a few minutes and check that the temperature remains stable between 22 and 24°C. Consistent, reliable operation prevents power-hungry startup moments. While doing so, also pay attention to any malfunctions, such as strange noises or inconsistencies in temperature control. A properly functioning thermostat not only contributes to a good indoor climate, but also helps you avoid unnecessary energy costs.
3. Schedule professional maintenance
Although you yourself are a large part of the maintenance can perform, is an annual check-up by an expert often recommended. In June, you can have a brief summer check performed by a technician. During this check, the condenser, refrigerant and electrical components are tested and cleaned. If there is a is short of refrigerant or if there are signs of wear visible, a timely checkup can prevent costly repairs later in the summer. This professional maintenance will help extend the life of your system and keep your A/C working at its best.
4. Air quality and humidity
In addition to temperatures, air quality an important role in a healthy indoor environment. A well-maintained air conditioner also usually ensures optimal humidity levels. Aim for a relative humidity between 40 and 60 % to prevent the air from becoming too dry or moldy. Additional use of HEPA filters or humidifiers can also be helpful. Keeping an eye on these factors helps you ensure full indoor air quality, which is especially important for people with allergies or respiratory problems.
5. Energy monitoring and smart use
Finally, it is also wise to keep an eye on your energy consumption once your air conditioner is in full operation. By monitoring regularly, you can see if consumption is in line with expectations. Investing in a smart thermostat can help with this, as it can provide up to 10-20 % saving on your energy bill can provide. These smart systems automatically adjust the air conditioner based on your daily schedule and the outside air temperature, so you always benefit from the optimal comfort.
