Is Your AC Prepared for Summer?

 Warmer weather is right around the corner!

Summer in Michigan includes lake days, farmers' markets, and trips up north. Summer can also include high humidity, record-breaking heat, and increased use of your air conditioner. 

Make sure your AC is prepped for the high heat by following these steps: 

Shade the System 

Even your AC unit needs a break from the sun! 

Consider arranging a canopy over your air conditioner, or having your unit installed near natural shade to avoid overheating. If you put your unit under shade, just make sure there’s at least two feet of clearance.

Invest in a Dehumidifier 

Excess humidity in the air makes it harder for your air conditioner to achieve the set, desirable temperature. When you invest in a dehumidifier, you save energy and the costs associated with maintaining your AC unit.

Spring Checklist for Heat Pumps

Ready for warmer weather, but not sure your heat pump is?

If you’re like most Michiganders, as soon as the calendar hits March, you’re itching for spring. But don’t let your excitement get the better of you! There are four things you need to do to make sure your heat pump is ready for spring. Cross them off your list today!

Remove your condenser cover. 

If you opted to protect the heat pump’s outdoor components with any type of covering, it’s about time to remove it. You must take off any cover before the unit switches to cooling mode to avoid damage.

Adjust your thermostat. 

It’s time to check your settings for the cooling season! If you have a smart or programmable thermostat, you can update your settings immediately. For standard thermostats, make a plan for your temperature settings and set an alert on your phone or calendar.

Start cooling.

Test cooling mode and make sure cool air is flowing from your vents. You want to do this well before peak summer weather so a technician can quickly address any problems before you even break a sweat!

Schedule a spring tune-up with us. 

Keep your heat pump in top shape by setting up regular maintenance appointments. Book your appointment early to save a spot before summer weather kicks in.

Spring Cleaning

Need help preparing your heat pump for spring?

While you’re spring cleaning, add a few simple things to your list and take care of your heat pump. 

 Outdoor clean up.

When you’re outside cleaning your yard, also clear debris and obstructions from the outdoor components of your heat pump. Cut back any plants, clear leaves and sticks, and dust away dirt. There should be about a foot of clearance. 

Check the filter. 

Your heat pump needs a clean filter to operate effectively. This means you should change it every 1-3 months. If it’s been a while, you probably need to change it now. 

Clean vent and register covers. 

Vacuum the dust from all your ventilation covers to avoid any obstruction in air flow. You may even consider a professional duct cleaning to maximize efficiency and air quality.

Heat Pumps in Summer vs. Winter

For residents of a moody weather state like Michigan, having a source of temperature regulation that’s reliable and efficient is essential for everyday comfort.

How heat pumps work in the summer  

In the summer, a heat pump works just like a standard air conditioner. 

Heat pumps cool your home by collecting the warm air in your home and moving it outside while also blowing air over its refrigerant-coils to create cool air that is then released back into your home.

How heat pumps work in the winter

Cold air from inside the home is passed through high temperature, high pressure gas in the indoor coil, which transfers heat to the cold air. The refrigerant condenses to a liquid, and the warm air is then circulated throughout the home.

Hybrid heat pumps in Ann Arbor consume considerably less energy than both a furnace and air conditioner while still performing more efficiently.
