Getting Your Air Conditioner Ready for Spring
Posted On: March 16, 2022
Spring is just around the corner – are you ready for warmer weather? We sure missed it, how about you? You might have a list of activities lined up for spring, and we are excited just like you! Just one more thing… is your air conditioning system ready to keep your house internally cool and comfortable?
Here are 5 basic maintenance tips that will help your air conditioner perform optimally during the warmer months:
Check your unit’s air filter as needed.
Never forget to clean or change your HVAC unit’s air filter. Doing so will only pollute your indoor air and not only that, but dirty filters can also mess up your entire cooling system by blocking the airflow. Dirty filters can also damage the unit’s motor. If air filters become clogged, the entire unit can even break down. You don’t want that, do you?
Ensure that the outdoor unit is clean and unobstructed.
Most people forget about the outdoor unit of an air conditioner. Keep that unit clean and clear away any obstructions to help your cooling system perform better and live longer. If there are any shrubs and plants near the unit, it is best to have them cut off. Any debris within the area should also be removed and collected. Remember, blocked airflow in the outdoor unit is just as harmful to your AC as a dirty air filter.
Air ducts should also be cleaned.
The air vents that your cooling system uses to distribute cooled air all throughout your home should be inspected and cleaned periodically. Air ducts can be a great hiding place for unwelcome rodents, roaches, spiders, bacteria, viruses, mold, dust mites, pollen, and other allergens that can pollute your indoor air. Ductwork can also develop cracks, leaks, and holes over time through which cooled air can escape, driving up energy costs and reducing the AC’s efficiency. If you want cleaner and fresher indoor air, clear your air ducts.
Overhead fans should be reversed.
Ceiling fans help keep our homes cool in spring and summer. Check your fan and find a small switch near the top of the fixture. Use that to set the direction of the fan blades counterclockwise. If you want to save up to 40% on cooling costs, then you should do this. Overhead fans can make you feel eight degrees cooler.

Dave was great in helping me get the proper units for my property, as well as getting them installed. The installers arrived when they said they would, and completed the project on time, and professionally. If I needed another furnace, I would use Dave again.

I have known Greg and Grant Dainty for many years and have used their company for my house and business. I recommended them also for my parents and sister and they all have been very satisfied with the quality of work for a reasonable price. I just recently had them install a new HVAC system in an older house and was very pleased with their work. Craig in Pickering. After meeting with various heating and air conditioning contractors I was referred to Twin Tech Heating and Cooling through a family member. Greg and Grant arrived at my home and provided me with an estimate and a plan as to how they were going to remove and replace my furnace and air conditioner. On the day of install Greg and Grant arrived at my home on time and were very professional and extremely courteous as to any questions or concerns that I had. The removal and install was truly professional and the attention to detail was exactly what I was looking for. Ive seen many installs from other contractors and I couldnt be any happier to have had such a clean looking install. The sheet metal work, ducting and venting all look fantastic. Upon completion Greg and Grant left me feeling extremely happy and very fortunate of a job well done. Thanks again Twin Tech!!

My Fiancé and I have relied on Twintech Heating and Cooling now for the better part of the last 10 years. In that time, Greg has installed a furnace, an air conditioner, and a heat-pump at our residence in Toronto. In each instance Greg and his team were a pleasure to deal with. They were courteous and professional throughout the whole process and the quality of their work is first rate. Our experiences have always been extremely positive and we have referred his services numerous times to our friends and family. Without hesitation, I would recommend Greg and TwinTech Heating and Cooling to anyone looking to service or replace their existing heat/AC equipment
