As summer winds down in Western and Central New York, many homeowners start preparing their homes for the cooler months ahead. While your air conditioning system may not see as much use in the coming weeks, now is the perfect time to schedule seasonal maintenance. Taking care of your AC at the end of the summer not only improves efficiency but also extends the life of your system. At NOCO, we’ve been helping families stay comfortable for more than 80 years, and our experts know exactly what it takes to keep your system running at its best.

Why End-of-Summer Maintenance Matters

After months of hard work, your air conditioner has collected dust, debris, and general wear that can impact its performance. Addressing these issues before the cooler weather sets in ensures your system is ready for next summer and helps prevent unexpected repairs. A professional tune-up also improves energy efficiency, lowers operating costs, and gives you peace of mind knowing your home comfort system is prepared for the future.

Key End-of-Summer AC Maintenance Tips

Here are a few important steps to take before shutting down your system for the season:

  • Clean or replace your air filters: Dirty filters reduce airflow and make your AC work harder than necessary.
  • Inspect and clean the outdoor unit: Remove leaves, dirt, and debris that may have collected around your condenser.
  • Check for unusual noises or leaks: Strange sounds or moisture buildup could be signs of a developing issue.
  • Schedule a professional tune-up: NOCO technicians will perform a precision inspection, clean critical components, and identify small issues before they become costly repairs.
  • Consider a service plan: With NOCO’s Comfort Plan, you’ll receive annual tune-ups for free, along with discounts on parts and labor.

Plan Ahead for Next Summer

By scheduling maintenance now, you’ll avoid the spring rush and keep your system in peak condition for the warmer months. Regular tune-ups can even help reduce energy bills by up to 10% while extending the lifespan of your equipment. Whether you have a central system or ductless unit, keeping up with preventative care is the best way to protect your investment.
