If you’re a fan of summer, you may not mind heat and humidity. Otherwise, this may be a time of year when you choose to spend more time indoors. Regardless of whether you’re a fan of the season, you depend on your home’s air conditioner for cool comfort when the temperatures outside are sizzling. Many homeowners may assume that if their cooling system is seemingly running “just fine,” then there’s no chance that the unit is going to break down any time soon. That assumption would be a mistake. Without proper care and upkeep, your air conditioner can’t efficiently keep up with your family’s cooling demands. When this happens, an unexpected (and expensive) breakdown could be in your future.

Fortunately, there are some simple things you can do to help prevent a sudden failure of your home’s air conditioner. Check out these tips for preventing a costly AC repair this summer.
