Prepare for peak heat season with maintenance tips to ensure optimal summer performance and advanced energy efficiency of home cooling solutions
As summer approaches and temperatures begin to rise, LG Electronics (LG) is encouraging homeowners to proactively prepare their air conditioning systems for the demanding months ahead. And by following a simple HVAC checklist, consumers can ensure their systems are running efficiently, reliably, and effectively, leading to greater comfort and potential energy savings.
Taking the time now to inspect and maintain HVAC units can prevent costly breakdowns and ensure the home remains a cool and comfortable oasis throughout the summer season of searing heat.
LG recommends the following key steps to prepare your air conditioner for summer:
- Inspect and Clean: Thoroughly clean or replace air filters to ensure optimal airflow and prevent dust and allergens from circulating throughout your home. Dirty filters force your system to work harder, reducing efficiency and potentially leading to breakdowns. Consider upgrading to a higher-quality filter for improved air purification.
- Check for Leaks: Inspect refrigerant lines and connections for any signs of leaks. Low refrigerant levels can significantly impact cooling performance and increase energy consumption. Contact a qualified HVAC technician to address any issues promptly.
- Clear Obstructions: Ensure the outdoor unit is free from debris, such as leaves, branches, and weeds, which can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. Maintaining a clear space around the unit allows for proper ventilation and prevents overheating. Aim for at least two feet of clearance around the unit.
- Retrofit or Replace: If your AC is old or inefficient, consider retrofitting it with newer components or replacing it altogether. LG's air conditioners featuring Inverter Compressor technology offer enhanced energy efficiency and improved compressor reliability, leading to significant energy savings over time. Upgrading to a more efficient model can also qualify you for rebates and incentives, further reducing your upfront costs.
