As summer winds down, it's essential to ensure your AC system is in peak condition to handle the lingering heat and prepare for the upcoming cooler months. At Buckley Heat & Air, we are committed to helping you maintain a comfortable and energy-efficient home. Here are some end-of-summer best practices to keep your AC system running smoothly:


1. Schedule a Professional Check-Up

Even if your AC system has been working fine throughout the summer, it's wise to have a professional technician inspect it before the season ends. Regular maintenance can identify potential issues before they become costly problems. 


2. Clean or Replace Your Air Filters

A clean air filter is crucial for maintaining good air quality and ensuring your system runs efficiently. We offer high-quality filters for both old and new systems, keeping your AC healthy and your air clean.


3. Check Your Thermostat Settings

Make sure your thermostat is set to a comfortable temperature. Programmable thermostats can help you save energy by adjusting the temperature when you're not home.


4. Clear the Area Around Your Outdoor Unit

Ensure there is no debris or vegetation obstructing the airflow around your outdoor unit. This can help your system run more efficiently and prevent overheating.


5. Inspect Your Ductwork

Leaks or obstructions in your ductwork can cause your system to work harder than necessary. Have your ducts inspected and cleaned if needed to maintain optimal airflow.


Have an Older System? We Can Help!


At Buckley Heat & Air, we understand the importance of maintaining older AC systems. We carry R22 and are happy to check your older systems to ensure they are running well. Our technicians are skilled in servicing and maintaining both old and new units, keeping your home comfortable during intense heat waves.

Consider an Upgrade


Maintaining an older AC system can become more costly over time. If your unit shows signs of wear and tear, investing in a newer, more efficient model might be more cost-effective. 


This summer, take advantage of our special offer: $1,000 off new systems! A new system can provide better performance, lower energy bills, and greater peace of mind.
