Preventive AC Tips for Summer

July 15, 2025

A well-running air conditioner is an unsung hero, ensuring your home and family stay safe during a Denver heat wave. Seasonal maintenance is a wise investment to prevent premature breakdowns and protect your loved ones from heat-related health risks.

Lakeside Heating & Air Conditioning’s qualified team provides practical, time-tested advice to keep your air conditioner running efficiently all summer while helping you avoid costly emergencies and sky-high utility bills.

Enjoy a Cooler, Safer Summer

Preventive air conditioner care is critical. Here are some things you should do to maximize your cooling system during Colorado’s hottest months.

  • Replace your air filters: Dirty filters restrict airflow and force your air conditioner to work harder than it should. Swapping them out every one to three months improves HVAC performance, efficiency and indoor air quality – especially if you have pets or allergies.
  • Have your air ducts cleaned: Clogged or leaky ductwork will waste cooled air and drive up your utility bills. A professional inspection ensures appropriate airflow throughout your house, which will save you money.
  • Clean around the outdoor unit: Dead leaves, grass clippings and overgrown greenery will prevent your air conditioner from performing at its peak. Clear at least two feet around the unit and gently hose off dirt or debris stuck to the fins.
