Beat the Heat: Summer AC Maintenance for Kamloops Homes

Published on June 10, 2024

While Kamloops summers are generally mild, hot spells can make air conditioning essential for comfort. Proper maintenance ensures your AC system runs efficiently when you need it most.

Essential Summer Maintenance Tasks

1. Clean or Replace Air Filters

Dirty filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. Check monthly during heavy use periods.

2. Clear Outdoor Unit

Remove debris, leaves, and vegetation from around the condenser unit. Maintain 2-foot clearance on all sides.

3. Clean Condenser Coils

Use garden hose to gently clean dirt and debris from outdoor coils. Turn off power first.

4. Test Thermostat Operation

Ensure accurate temperature readings and proper system cycling.

Signs Your AC Needs Professional Attention

  • Weak airflow from vents
  • Warm air instead of cool
  • Unusual noises or odors
  • Frequent cycling on and off
  • High humidity indoors
  • Ice formation on unit
