In addition to regularly changing your filters, there are other things you can do to ensure optimal AC efficiency. These do-it-yourself AC maintenance items include:

• Periodically hosing dust and debris down the face of and off your outdoor unit (don’t drive it into the unit)
• Keeping the area around the air conditioner clear of clutter, weeds, and anything else that inhibits open airflow
• Ensuring your AC is protected from animals and pets

Anything else should be left to your Pelles professional. This ensures your safety and promotes air conditioner longevity.
