Top 5 Summer HVAC Maintenance Tips to Save Money & Stay Cool

As summer temperatures rise across Brampton and the GTA, a reliable and efficient HVAC system becomes essential. Whether you're running your air conditioner all day or just during peak hours, proper maintenance can mean the difference between comfort and costly repairs.

At Dalson Canada Ltd., we believe that a little care goes a long way. Here are the top 5 summer HVAC maintenance tips that will help you stay cool and save money on your energy bills.

1. ✅ Replace or Clean Your Air Filters

Clogged air filters are the #1 cause of restricted airflow in HVAC systems. Dirty filters force your unit to work harder, increasing energy use and shortening the lifespan of the system.

👉 Pro Tip: Check your filter monthly and replace it every 1-3 months depending on usage, pets, or allergy concerns.

2. 🔧 Book a Professional HVAC Tune-Up

Before the heat hits hard, schedule a seasonal HVAC inspection with a licensed technician. A professional can check refrigerant levels, tighten electrical connections, clean coils, and ensure everything is operating efficiently.

3. 🌿 Clean the Outdoor Condenser Unit

Your outdoor AC unit needs space to breathe. Dirt, leaves, and grass can block airflow and reduce efficiency.

🧼 Clear debris from the surrounding area and gently rinse off dirt from the unit’s fins using a garden hose (never a pressure washer!).

4. 🌡️ Use a Smart or Programmable Thermostat

A programmable thermostat can reduce energy use by adjusting the temperature when you're away or asleep. Smart thermostats take it further by learning your habits and automatically optimizing settings.

💡 Set your thermostat 2–3 degrees higher when not home to save up to 10% on cooling costs.

5. 🛠️ Seal and Insulate Ductwork

Leaky ducts can waste up to 30% of your cooled air before it reaches your rooms. That’s money blowing away!

🛑 Check for visible leaks in your ductwork, especially in basements and attics. Use duct mastic or foil tape to seal gaps, and ensure ducts are properly insulated.
