Episode Notes

When the summer sun shows up in full force in Alabama, it means business. The heat is intense, the humidity doesn’t let up, and there’s nothing worse than having your air conditioner give out right when you need it most.

That’s why the team at Adams Cooling & Heating has put together an easy-to-follow online guide and checklist to help homeowners like you get ahead of the heat—and avoid mid-season surprises. Whether your system is a few years old or it's been a while since your last maintenance check, this guide covers exactly what you need to do to keep things running smoothly all summer long.

Here’s a stat that might surprise you: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, air conditioning systems that get regular maintenance can run up to 15% more efficiently and last years longer than those that don’t.

That’s not just about saving money (although that’s a nice bonus). It’s also about avoiding those emergency breakdowns that tend to happen during the hottest week of the year, when HVAC technicians are booked solid and your house feels more like a sauna than a sanctuary.

As the team at Adams Cooling & Heating puts it:

"Many emergency AC repairs could be avoided with basic preventative maintenance."

They created the guide to give homeowners a clear and accessible way to take action before the summer rush kicks into high gear.

This isn't just a vague list of reminders. The checklist walks you through the real, practical steps you should take, like:

Replacing your air filters (because dirty filters are airflow killers and allergy triggers) Clearing debris around the outdoor condenser unit (yes, those leaves and twigs matter) Inspecting your ductwork and vents (because poor airflow can overwork your system) Testing your thermostat (to make sure it’s reading and regulating properly) Watching—and smelling—for warning signs (unusual noises and burnt smells are never good) Booking a professional tune-up (because even the best DIYer can’t check refrigerant levels or coil integrity like a licensed tech)

The guide even includes pro tips from certified technicians so you know exactly what to look for and what to expect from a professional inspection.

The best time to service your system? Before it’s up and running 24/7.

Adams Cooling & Heating is already booking spring and early summer tune-ups, and they’re encouraging homeowners to act now—before the rush and before minor issues become major repairs.

Preparing your AC system for summer doesn’t have to be complicated—or expensive. A little attention now can save you from a lot of stress (and sweat) later.

So if you’re wondering whether your air conditioner is ready for the season ahead, don’t wait for the heat wave to find out. Grab the guide, do a quick system check, and give your AC the care it needs to keep your home cool and comfortable all summer long.
