First Alarm Heating & Cooling | Trusted HVAC Services in Salina, KS

First, check your thermostat settings and ensure it's set to 'cool.' Then, check your air filter—a clogged filter is a common culprit in our area that restricts airflow and reduces cooling. If the filter is clean, check the outdoor unit to ensure it's clear of debris. If the problem persists, it's time to call us. Prolonged strain in our summer heat can cause further damage, so prompt professional diagnosis is key.

In Salina, with our varying seasons and potential for dust, we generally recommend checking your filter monthly and replacing it every 1-3 months. Homes with pets, allergies, or more occupants may need more frequent changes. A clean filter is essential for maintaining airflow, protecting your HVAC system from strain, and keeping your indoor air clean, especially during high-use seasons.

Our pre-summer tune-up is designed to prepare your system for Salina's heat. We thoroughly clean the condenser coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, calibrate your thermostat, and ensure the entire system is operating at peak efficiency. This proactive service can prevent mid-summer breakdowns, improve cooling performance, and help lower your energy bills.
