How to Prepare Your Air Conditioning for Summer

When the summer months approach, it is very important that you and your family can stay cool. Getting ready for the hot weather ensures that your home is comfortable all season long. Knowing how to prepare your air conditioning for summer helps.

Clean and Replace Filters

The filters in your air conditioning unit get dirty even if you haven’t been using it. Clean or replace all the filters so the unit gets enough air to be effective in the heat. This will also help improve the air quality in your home.

Clear Outdoor Areas

If you have HVAC units outside, make sure they are clear of any debris. If shrubs, trees or other vegetation have grown over the units, trim them back and clear them away. Otherwise, the units will be blocked from taking in air.

Make Sure the House is Sealed

One of the best things you can do to prepare your air conditioning for summer is to make sure your house is sealed against any holes or cracks. Look for small holes and tiny cracks that form near the windows, and seal them with spackle or caulk. This will keep your home cool and save you money on your power bill by keeping the cooler air in and the hotter air out.

My furnace was not heating. Called Hayes Heating, it was Nov. so I expected a long wait. One week later technician Daniel arrived. He was polite and through. Daniel quickly diagnosed my problem. He returned the next day, installed a new part. All was well, we thought. Daniel had to return two more times before my furnace was working. None of this was due to any lack on Daniel's part. American Standard parts failed to give him all the necessary pieces. This was a totally new item, so Daniel had no way of knowing it was incomplete. He worked me in during one of his busy days because it's now Dec and quite cold. Both Daniel and the office staff at Hayes Heating have gone more then the second mile to facilitate a good outcome. Thank you Daniel and Hayes Heating!! W. Kelly

Hayes Heating and Cooling office staff was pleasant and technician arrived during hours scheduled for a maintenance check on my 4 year old furnace. The technician indicated that my furnace was operating correctly, but he noted that a flex line was going through the case of the furnace and it should be a hard gas pipe line to be up to the earthquake code. Two other HVAC companies had been in previously for a non related problem with the furnace, not to mention the installer. Not one of them had mentioned this. Puzzled, I requested a safety check from PSE who repeated the Hayes Heating and Cooling tech’s evaluation without knowledge of the previous evaluation. I was extremely pleased that this potential hazard was brought to my attention and scheduled Hayes to bring my furnace up to code. This demonstrates how important it is to find a HVAC company that has qualified and conscientious technicians at a reasonable price. I will be scheduling them again and highly recommend them.

My Heat Pump mini split and ducted air handler installation was completed yesterday. It was a big job done professional and well by Curtan, Will, Tyler, and another unnamed tech. Curtan was the tech who also did my initial quote. I want to point out the reason I chose Hayes was complete itemize transparency on the quote I agreed to and the value received. This sets Hayes apart from the competition because most HVAC companies will pull price without explanation on one line item which tells you nothing other than total cost but not how it was derived. Hayes also cleans up their job site when complete and left me with extensive knowledge of my Heat Pump system. Also want to thank Carlie and Darleen who answered my calls and responded to my inquiries. I appreciate you all and the team and look forward to working with you again for installs, service, and upgrades.

I really enjoyed working with Hayes. In these challenging times of inflation, supply chain, shortages, etc., Hayes was top notch. Our install was July 2022. Would recommend and will use again. Thank you.

We just bought our home in March and since we got here Hayes has come through consistently for us in our tankless water heater needs, AC installation and even helping subcontract electricians for some work we needed done. Even with supply chain and labor shortages they’ve been prompt, professional, and have our home feeling cozy and ready for the summer! Highly recommend them to anyone in the area.
