Beat Sacramento’s Late-Summer Heat with Smart AC Maintenance

As Sacramento enters the final stretch of summer, temperatures can still climb well into the 90s. For homeowners, this means relying on air conditioning systems more than ever to stay cool and comfortable. But if your system is working harder than it should, it could be costing you more on your utility bills and risking a surprise breakdown at the worst time.

At All Year Inc., we know the end of summer is the perfect time for a smart AC maintenance check. Our HVAC experts in Sacramento recommend a series of simple but powerful steps to help your system run efficiently and avoid unnecessary repairs.

The first and often overlooked step is replacing or cleaning your air filters. Dirty filters restrict airflow and force your system to work harder, leading to higher energy consumption and uneven cooling. If your filters haven’t been changed this season, now is the time.

Next, take a look at your outdoor condenser and indoor evaporator coils. When these coils collect dirt and debris, they reduce your system’s ability to absorb and expel heat. Our AC tune-up service includes a thorough cleaning of these components, which can improve overall performance and extend the life of your unit.

Another critical element is refrigerant. If your AC isn’t cooling properly or feels weak, it may be due to low refrigerant levels or a leak. A trained technician from All Year Inc. can inspect and refill your system, ensuring optimal cooling even in the hottest Sacramento afternoons.

Leaks in your air ducts are another silent energy-waster. Sealing your ductwork not only improves airflow but also helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home. Our duct sealing services are designed to target these inefficiencies and increase comfort.

Finally, consider your thermostat. Is it calibrated correctly? Would a smart thermostat upgrade help regulate indoor temperatures more precisely and cut energy use? We can help you make the switch to smarter control options that align with your lifestyle and budget.

Taking these steps now can result in significant savings, particularly when combined with available rebates from the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD). In some cases, you can receive up to $850 for energy-efficient HVAC improvements.

Don’t wait for your system to fail. Book a mid-August AC tune-up with All Year Inc. and get peace of mind knowing your system is ready for the final heatwave. Call 916-922-7796 or visit our AC Tune-Up & Maintenance page to schedule service.
