Welcome to Absolute HVAC's guide to summer maintenance and tune-up tips, designed to keep Long Island residents cool and worry-free throughout the hottest months of the year.


1. Regular Filter Replacement: Breathe Easy, Stay Cool

The air filter is the unsung hero of your HVAC system. A clogged or dirty filter can hinder airflow, making your system work harder and less efficiently. Regularly replacing or cleaning your filter not only improves indoor air quality but also helps maintain optimal system performance.


2. Clear the Debris: Unobstructed Airflow for Peak Performance

Outdoor units often accumulate debris like leaves, grass, and dirt, obstructing airflow and reducing efficiency. A simple routine of clearing away debris can make a world of difference in how your HVAC system operates, keeping your home consistently comfortable.


3. Check and Clean Coils: Enhance Efficiency

Dirty evaporator and condenser coils can significantly reduce your HVAC system's efficiency. Gently cleaning these coils with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner helps maintain their performance and keeps your energy bills in check.


4. Smart Thermostat Utilization: The Power of Programming

Investing in a smart thermostat allows you to create customized cooling schedules that match your lifestyle. Program your thermostat to increase the temperature when you're away and lower it before you return, ensuring comfort and energy savings.


5. Professional Tune-Up: A Must for Optimal Performance

Enlist the expertise of Absolute HVAC's professionals for a comprehensive summer tune-up. From refrigerant levels to electrical connections, our technicians will meticulously inspect and fine-tune your system to ensure it's running at its best when you need it most.


6. Ductwork Inspection: Efficient Air Distribution

Leaky or poorly insulated ducts can result in cooled air escaping before it reaches your living spaces. Absolute HVAC's technicians can assess your ductwork, sealing any leaks and optimizing airflow, which not only improves comfort but also reduces energy waste.


7. Ensure Proper Ventilation: Let Your System Breathe

Proper ventilation is key to maintaining a balanced indoor climate. Ensure that all vents and registers are unblocked and open, allowing cool air to circulate freely and evenly throughout your home.


8. Monitor Refrigerant Levels: A Vital Component

Low refrigerant levels can lead to reduced cooling efficiency and potential system damage. Trust Absolute HVAC to check and adjust refrigerant levels as part of our comprehensive summer maintenance services.
