How to Prepare Your AC for the Hottest Months Ahead

Summer in Florida isn’t just hot—it’s relentless. When the temperatures climb into the 90s (or higher!), your air conditioning system becomes more than a luxury—it’s a lifeline. But is your AC ready to handle the pressure?

At Miller’s Wholesale Dist. & AC, we’ve been keeping Polk County cool for over 60 years. Here’s how to make sure your system can handle the heat before you find yourself sweating indoors.

1. Change or Clean Your Air Filters

It sounds simple, but dirty air filters are one of the most common causes of poor airflow and frozen coils. A clogged filter makes your system work harder, raising energy costs and wearing it out faster.

Pro Tip: Change your filters every 30–60 days, or even more often if you have pets or allergies.

2. Schedule a Pre-Summer Tune-Up

Think of this like an oil change for your car. A seasonal maintenance check helps us spot minor issues before they turn into expensive repairs.

During a tune-up, we:

• Check refrigerant levels

• Clean condenser coils

• Inspect electrical components

• Calibrate your thermostat

• Test system performance

3. Clear the Area Around Your Outdoor Unit

Leaves, grass, and other debris can block airflow around your condenser unit. Keep at least two feet of space clear around the unit, and rinse off any dirt with a gentle spray from your garden hose.

4. Check Your Thermostat Settings

Make sure your thermostat is set to “cool” and functioning properly. Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat that can learn your preferences and help reduce energy bills.

5. Consider an Upgrade If Your Unit Is Over 10 Years Old

If your AC is pushing 10–15 years and your home still feels warm, you may be spending more on repairs and power bills than necessary. We offer affordable new units and financing options to help make upgrades stress-free.

Be Ready Before the Heat Hits

The summer months are our busiest time of year, and emergency repairs can cost more and take longer to schedule. A little preparation now will save you time, money, and sweat later.

Let the pros at Miller’s Wholesale Dist. & AC keep you cool—because comfort shouldn’t be a question mark this summer.
