- Remove any leaves, grass and grass clippings, weeds, plants, and other debris from the outdoor condensing unit (the large metal box in your yard next to your home).
- Clean your outdoor condensing unit occasionally by spraying it with a water hose — not a pressure washer, which may be damaging.
- Check your air filter and change it if it is dirty, or according to the manufacturer's recommendation. Always turn off the power to the air handler before pulling out the filter.
- Check the air vents inside your home so they are not blocked by furniture. Obstructed air flow makes air conditioners work harder.
