Here in Mesquite, NV, summer isn’t just hot—it’s relentless. And when temperatures start soaring into triple digits, your HVAC system becomes more than just a luxury—it’s a necessity. The last thing you want is to find out your air conditioner isn’t working after the first heatwave hits.

That’s why spring is the perfect time to get your HVAC system ready for the summer. A little preparation now can save you from discomfort, high energy bills, or costly emergency repairs later on.

Here’s how to get your system summer-ready:

🧼 1. Replace or Clean Your Air Filters

This is one of the simplest and most effective steps you can take. Dirty air filters restrict airflow, forcing your system to work harder and making it less efficient. For most homes, filters should be replaced every 1–3 months—especially in dusty climates like ours.

Cleaner filters mean:

Better air quality
Lower energy use
A longer life for your HVAC system

🌀 2. Check Your Thermostat Settings

Make sure your thermostat is set to cool, and test it to ensure your AC kicks on when it should. If you’re still using a basic manual thermostat, consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat. It helps you manage your cooling schedule, which can lower your utility bills and keep your home more comfortable.

🌿 3. Clear Debris from the Outdoor Unit

Your outdoor condenser unit needs space to breathe. Over the winter and spring, debris like leaves, weeds, and dirt can build up around it. Clear at least 2 feet of space around the unit, and gently hose down the exterior fins if they’re dirty—just be careful not to bend them.

This ensures proper airflow and helps prevent overheating when your system is running full blast.

🔍 4. Inspect Your Vents and Ductwork

Take a walk around your home and check that all your air vents are open and unblocked. Furniture, curtains, or dust buildup can restrict airflow and reduce your system’s efficiency.

If you’ve noticed uneven cooling or poor air quality, you might have a duct leak or buildup inside your ducts. This is something a professional HVAC technician can diagnose and fix quickly.

🛠️ 5. Schedule a Professional Tune-Up

Even if everything seems to be working, it’s always a smart idea to schedule an HVAC maintenance check before summer hits. A trained technician can:

Test all components for proper operation
Check refrigerant levels
Inspect electrical connections and safety controls
Lubricate moving parts
Identify issues before they become breakdowns

Routine maintenance not only improves efficiency—it helps prevent mid-summer system failures.
