Compressor Maintenance Tips for Texas Properties

Regular Filter Changes

Change air filters every 1-3 months to prevent compressor strain. Dirty filters restrict airflow and force your compressor to work harder.

Thermostat Settings

Avoid extreme temperature settings. Gradual temperature changes reduce compressor stress and improve system efficiency.

Keep Unit Clean

Clear debris around your outdoor unit and keep the area clean. This ensures proper airflow and prevents overheating.

Professional Maintenance

Schedule annual professional maintenance to check refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and compressor operation.

Electrical Connections

Have electrical connections inspected regularly. Loose connections can cause compressor damage and safety hazards.

Monitor Performance

Pay attention to unusual sounds, smells, or performance changes. Early detection prevents major compressor repairs.
