Jacksonville saw a record high on April 20th this year and it’s just a sign of what’s to come this summer on The First Coast. It’s hard to describe just how hot our area gets every summer and locals know that there’s nothing worse than having a malfunctioning HVAC system on a blisteringly hot day. At Ocean State, we make it our business to ensure our customers have Jacksonville HVAC systems that are prepared to battle even the highest of temperatures so we thought we’d take some time to provide some tips on how to get your HVAC system ready for what promises to be another blisteringly hot summer!

Clean Inside and Outside Your Jacksonville HVAC System

We had a relatively mild winter and spring so it’s only natural that detritus has accumulated both inside and outside of your HVAC system. This debris builds up over time and can harm the efficiency of your system so it’s important to clean your unit from time to time. This is a pretty simple process that can begin with simply removing excess leaves and dirt from the outside while taking a hose to the remainder of your HVAC system.

You can also shut off the power on your unit and use a fin comb to clean the fins inside your Jacksonville HVAC system. Our friends at Carrier have these in stock for the low price of $13.30 and you can pick them up here.

Of course, there are always things that you can miss when cleaning your system so it’s best to have a professional come out and take a look so you can achieve true peace of mind. At Ocean State, we offer maintenance plans that afford you twice-annual visits and there’s never been a better time to schedule an appointment to ensure your system can withstand the heat of another First Coast summer.

Clean Or Replace Your Air Filters

We know that “pick up air filters” is rarely at the top of any to-do list which is why we began the Ocean State Filter Club. Membership in this club relieves you of the responsibility of ordering filter changes. Instead, our convenient, automated service delivers exactly what you need to your home or office, and we make sure they arrive exactly when you need them.

A clogged or dirty air filter requires your Jacksonville HVAC system to work harder every summer and makes it prone to malfunction. By joining the Filter Club, you ensure your system is operating at peak efficiency without having to lift a finger!
