Summer is just around the corner — is your air conditioner ready to keep your home cool and comfortable? Proper maintenance not only ensures peak performance but also extends the lifespan of your AC system. Mrs. Chill’s expert checklist will guide you step by step.
Checklist for AC Servicing:
-
Clean or Replace Air Filters – Dirty filters reduce efficiency and airflow. Replace every 1–3 months depending on usage.

Check Ductwork & Airflow – Ensure vents are unobstructed and ducts are sealed to prevent energy loss.
-
Inspect Electrical Components – Loose wiring or corrosion can lead to system failure. Schedule a professional check if unsure.
-
Test System Performance – Run a full cycle and listen for unusual noises, vibrations, or leaks.
Conclusion:
Following this checklist ensures your AC runs efficiently, saves energy, and keeps your home cool all summer long. Regular servicing prevents breakdowns and costly repairs.
