At ANG Heating and Air Conditioning, our certified HVAC technicians provide comprehensive maintenance services, keeping your AC unit in peak condition while preventing premature breakdowns. - Change or Clean Air Filters 🧹
Air filters trap dust, allergens, and debris, but over time, they can become clogged, restricting airflow. Replacing or cleaning filters regularly improves efficiency, reduces wear and tear, and enhances indoor air quality.
Need guidance on the best filter type or replacement schedule? ANG Heating and Air Conditioning can help you choose high-quality air filters and set up a routine replacement plan. - Keep the Outdoor Unit Clean 🌿
Leaves, dirt, and debris accumulating around the outdoor condenser unit can obstruct airflow and force your AC to work harder than necessary. Regular cleaning helps prevent overheating and excessive strain on the system.
Our team at ANG Heating and Air Conditioning offers professional condenser cleaning services, ensuring your outdoor unit operates smoothly and efficiently. - Optimize Settings 🌡️ Constantly adjusting your thermostat or setting it too low can cause unnecessary stress on your AC. Using a programmable or smart thermostat helps regulate indoor temperatures more efficiently, reducing system workload.
ANG Heating and Air Conditioning provides expert thermostat installation and programming services, helping you maintain ideal temperature settings without overworking your unit. - Check and Seal Air Leaks 🚪 Air leaks in windows, doors, and ductwork force your AC to work harder, shortening its lifespan. Sealing leaks improves efficiency by reducing heat gain and energy waste.
Need assistance identifying leaks? ANG Heating and Air Conditioning can conduct an air leak inspection and recommend sealing solutions to enhance your AC’s performance. - Ensure Proper Refrigerant Levels 💧 Low refrigerant levels can cause poor cooling efficiency and system strain.
