  • Inspect the thermostat and replace batteries if needed
  • Have a professional tune-up performed

Mid-Season Maintenance

  • Monitor for unusual noises or reduced airflow
  • Check for ice buildup on the indoor coil
  • Ensure vents are not blocked by furniture or rugs
  • Replace filters every 1–3 months during heavy use

Fall Maintenance (After Cooling Season)

  • Clean the outdoor unit thoroughly
  • Cover the condenser if recommended for your model
