☀️ It’s going to be another HOT one here in Indianapolis! 🥵
When temperatures climb like this, your air conditioner is working overtime. And if your system was already struggling before the heat arrived, these extreme temperatures can really expose the problem.
Here are a few simple things you can do to help your AC perform its best:
❄️ Change your air filter — A dirty filter restricts airflow and makes your system work harder.
🌿 Give your outdoor unit some room to breathe — Keep grass, weeds, plants, and debris cleared away from the unit. Your condenser needs good airflow to release the heat.
🧹 Check for dirt and debris — If the outdoor coil is packed with dirt, cottonwood, grass clippings, or other debris, efficiency can drop significantly.
🪟 Keep blinds and curtains closed during the hottest part of the day — Reducing the amount of heat coming through your windows can make a noticeable difference.
🌡️ Set your thermostat and let it do its job — Constantly turning the temperature up and down can make it harder for your system to keep up. During extreme heat, consider setting it at a comfortable temperature and leaving it there.
🚪 Keep doors and windows closed — It sounds simple, but keeping that hot, humid Indianapolis air outside helps your AC tremendously.
💨 Make sure your vents aren’t blocked — Keep furniture, rugs, and other items from covering supply and return vents so air can move freely.
⚠️ And pay attention to the warning signs. If your AC is running constantly, blowing warm air, freezing up, making unusual noises, or struggling to reach the temperature you’ve set, don’t ignore it. Extreme heat can turn a small problem into a much bigger one.
