The rest of the country might be preparing for heating season, but we still have some warm weather to manage before our heating systems take over. It’s important to ensure your air conditioner stays in top condition for the next few weeks. One key component to focus on—especially given the impact of recent wildfires—is the air filter. Learn more about when it’s time to replace your air filter.
There is one specific part of your air conditioner that you should make sure is working properly, especially with the recent wildfires all over the state. That part is the air filter.
We’re finally starting to experience the slightest drop in overall temperature trends, which is great news for those of us who are sick of the constant heat. Before you know it, it will be time to shut off your air conditioner for the year and fire up your heating system. That means that now is a good time to make sure that your heating system is actually ready to cope with the demand of the heating season, though. You don’t want to have your system developing any problems that could otherwise have been avoided. The best way to keep your system in good shape is to schedule preventive heating maintenance. 
We still have a few weeks of warm weather left before the days start to cool off. You’re probably still using your air conditioner on a fairly regular basis to keep cool during the daylight hours. That means that you still need to be vigilant for any signs that the system is malfunctioning. One of the most obvious signs that the air conditioner is having problems is the presence of strange noises during operation. If your air conditioner is making weird noises, you should call for repairs right away. Have a look at some of the more common noises that indicate a problem below. 
If you’re in the market for a new air conditioning system, you have a lot of different options to choose from. Each system has its own set of advantages, suited to different individual circumstances.

Let’s take a look at some of the ways that you can benefit from installing a ductless mini split system. 
The middle of summer is just about the worst time to have your air conditioner start to malfunction. But that tends to be the time when it’s most likely to happen. The added strain on the system due to increased demand makes it more likely for parts to fail. One of the first signs that an air conditioner is malfunctioning in some way is a noticeable decline in output. If your air conditioner seems to be having trouble putting out enough cool air, there could be a couple of different reasons for it. Let’s have a look at some of those reasons below. 
Your AC system is one of those appliances in your home that truly gets put to the test—especially during the scorching summers we experience. With high temperatures and occasional humidity added on top of that, we rely heavily on these systems for our comfort. That being said, if you’re in need of 
If you are like most homeowners, it’s very likely that you don’t even realize just how your cooling system’s refrigerant is one of the most vital components there is to an air conditioner. Without the right level of refrigerant—refrigerant charge—your air conditioner simply cannot do its job at all. 
We’ve hit that point that we’re looking toward some consistently hot weather. If you aren’t careful to make the appropriate preparations for summer weather now, you may find yourself in a pretty uncomfortable situation when the hot temperatures reach their peak. Preventive maintenance is typically the top of the list for summer AC care.
Why is it that we talk about maintenance so much? Of course, we hope you’ll schedule this important service—but that’s not the only reason we often bring it up. We want to ensure that our customers are in good shape for summer and that they are prepared with a fully functional AC system.
In order to provide cooling power for your home, your air conditioner must consume energy—and as a result you receive a cooling bill each month. With summer well on its way (despite the lower than normal California temperatures), your energy bills are going to see a spike since you’ll be running your cooling system on a more consistent basis.
