Spring AC Preparation — Get Ready for Summer

Get your AC or heat pump ready for summer. Spring maintenance checklist for Greater Vancouver homeowners.

Why Spring Preparation Matters

Your AC or heat pump has been idle through fall and winter. Debris has accumulated around the outdoor unit. The air filter may be clogged from winter use. The condensate drain may have developed clogs. A spring check catches these issues before the first hot day when every contractor is booked.

Your Spring AC Checklist

Clean around the outdoor unit — remove leaves and debris within 2 feet. Gently rinse the outdoor coil with a garden hose. Replace the air filter. Switch to Cool mode and verify the system starts. Check the condensate drain by pouring water into the drain pan. Listen for unusual compressor sounds. Inspect refrigerant line insulation.

Safety Reminder

If you smell gas, suspect carbon monoxide or believe there is an immediate danger, leave the property and contact emergency services or the appropriate gas emergency authority. Do not remain inside — exit the building immediately and call for help from outside.
