Start preparing for summer in advance

What summer means for such household appliances as an air conditioner and fridge? In all the cases, extra load. Hence, to make sure your appliances can withstand this extra load, prepare them for it. Not on the summer eve. But long in advance.

Prepare your air conditioner

There is no secret for you that your air conditioning system takes the brunt of the summer heat. Yes, this fact is evident. First, you enable your air con more often. Second, you run it for a longer time. Third, the system has to deal with hotter air. And if it comes to the unit that is in charge of cooling your kitchen, the system payload is increasing even more. That is to say, the heat that your stove and oven produces acts as a multiplicator and may make the climate in your kitchen unbearable. And your air conditioning has to deal with all this.

Thus, if your cooling system is not at its top, expect suffering from hot summer days rather than enjoy them. Typically, the following issues are to blame for lower air con performance:

dirt build-ups on the evaporator and condenser coils
low refrigerant level due to leaks
clogged air filter

At LE Company, we are experienced and certified to handle aircon maintenance and provide an air conditioning repair service. We will inspect your cooling system, clean its components, refill the refrigerant, and fix leaks and other issues. As a result, you will have your air conditioning ready for extra summer loads.

Prepare your fridge

While you may have never thought about this before, but in summer, your fridge also experiences extra loads. And especially if your air conditioning system fails to cool your kitchen. To clarify, when it becomes hotter in the room, your fridge has to work more intensively to keep its inside temperatures at the desirable tree-to-six-degree level.

Here are the most common issues that may lower your fridge performance:

Old, poor running, or simply dusty compressor / evaporator fan motor
Dirty refrigerator coils
Refrigerant leaks in the system

So, arrange your fridge maintenance checks at least a few months before the hot days strike and make sure these issues will not be your case.

Reasons for the in-advance preparation

There are at least two reasons why we recommend you start preparing for summer in advance:

First, you never know when hot days actually start – on June 1st, on April 15th, or earlier
Second, it is cheaper to arrange maintenance and repairs in a low season
Third, you have some leeway if the detected issues require a bit more effort and, thus, time to fix them
