Here’s your go-to Monroe County homeowner guide for spring AC system care, direct from the local HVAC experts at United Heating and Air.
As the weather begins to warm up in Monroe County, New York, now is the perfect time to ensure your air conditioner is ready to keep you cool and comfortable all season long. At United Heating & Air, we know that proper HVAC maintenance can make all the difference in performance, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability. That’s why we’ve created this simple seasonal checklist to help homeowners get ahead of costly breakdowns and enjoy peace of mind all spring and summer.
Dirty filters restrict airflow, making your system work harder and driving up energy costs. We recommend checking your filters every 30–60 days and replacing or cleaning them as needed.
Pro Tip: If you have pets or allergies, consider changing filters more frequently.
Winter weather can leave leaves, sticks, and debris around your outdoor condenser unit. Gently clean the area around the unit, making sure there's at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides.
Make sure your thermostat is set to "cool" and is functioning correctly. If you don’t already have one, upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can help you save on energy bills.
Look for any frayed wires, rust, or leaks around your HVAC system. If something doesn’t look right, it’s best to call in a professional technician before it becomes a bigger issue.
Turn on your AC system and let it run for 15–20 minutes. Listen for unusual noises and make sure it’s blowing cool air evenly throughout your home.
Vacuum and wipe down your indoor vents and registers to remove dust buildup. Make sure furniture or drapes aren’t blocking airflow.
Even if everything seems to be working fine, having a licensed technician inspect your system is the best way to catch small issues before they turn into big problems.
