Summers in South Carolina tend to get hot! Keeping your family cool in the sweltering heat is a major priority. To keep your family cool, you want to make sure that your HVAC unit is in the best possible shape. Here are a few tips to keep your HVAC unit running in the heat of the summer.

Change Your Air Filters: Dirty air filters can take a massive toll on the overall health of your HVAC system. They stifle the flow of air, and they put a massive strain on your HVAC system's ability to run. To keep your system running at its best, change your air filters every 1 to 3 months. Your HVAC system - and your family - will thank you!

Keep the Outdoor Unit Clean: Overgrowth, accumulated dirt, and mold can keep your HVAC system from functioning properly. Before the summer season is in full swing, take some time to clean your outdoor HVAC unit and clear away any debris or overgrowth. Even during summer's peak, maintain a routine cleaning schedule to keep your HVAC system running.

Schedule Some Pre-Summer Maintenance: This may be the most important thing you can do for your HVAC system! Give a licensed tech a call to perform a comprehensive inspection and tune-up. Doing so can help you prevent costly issues with your HVAC system down the road.
