Summer humidity in Fort Lee puts heavy strain on your central AC condenser. Prepping your outdoor unit before peak heat ensures consistent cooling and prevents unexpected summer breakdowns.
Clear away leaves, overgrown shrubs, and debris at least two feet around the condenser to ensure unimpeded airflow. Carefully rinse exterior coil fins with a garden hose to wash out dirt and grime.
Ensure the unit sits on a level pad and check that refrigerant line insulation is intact. Damaged insulation forces your system to run longer, drastically increasing your monthly energy bills.
