Check Your Insulation

One of the best ways to winterize your A/C unit is to ensure your home is well-insulated. Poor insulation  can allow cold air to seep into your home, making your A/C unit work harder to keep your home warm.  Checking your insulation and sealing any gaps or cracks can help to improve the efficiency of your A/C  unit and reduce your energy bills.

Cover Your A/C Unit

When the weather gets cold, it’s important to cover your A/C unit to protect it from the elements. You  can purchase a cover for your unit, or you can make one yourself out of a tarp or heavy-duty plastic. Be  sure to secure the cover so that it doesn’t blow away in the wind.

Change Your Filter

Another way to winterize your A/C unit is to change the filter. A dirty filter can restrict airflow and cause  your unit to work harder than necessary. Changing your filter regularly can help improve your unit’s  efficiency and extend its lifespan.

Schedule a Tune-Up

Finally, it’s a good idea to schedule a tune-up for your A/C unit before the winter weather sets in. A  professional technician can clean your unit and make any necessary repairs. This will help to ensure that  your unit is running smoothly and efficiently when you need it most.
