Indianapolis Homeowners Urged to Prep HVAC Systems for Summer Heat
With central Indiana enduring a stretch of extreme summer temperatures, local HVAC providers are warning that neglected cooling systems face a high risk of catastrophic failure. Kenneth Hale, owner of Complete Comfort Heating, Air and Plumbing, suggests that routine maintenance is the primary defense against emergency repairs and rising utility costs.
Technicians recommend several immediate measures to improve system efficiency:
- Replace air filters monthly using the correct size.
- Clear debris from the outdoor condenser and avoid shading it.
- Maintain consistent thermostat settings to reduce mechanical strain.
- Ensure all supply and return vents remain unobstructed by furniture.
- Schedule professional inspections for coil cleaning and refrigerant checks.
