✅ What to Check (and Clean) Every Year

Replace or clean air filters (every 1–3 months)
-
Clear debris from around the outdoor unit

Check the thermostat settings for accuracy
-
Inspect vents for blockages or dirt buildup
-
Listen for unusual sounds when your AC runs
-
Check for water leaks or signs of moisture near the unit
