Frequently asked questions

Can Taskers winterize a window air conditioner?

Why should I winterize the AC unit?

Good question. AC winterization is an often overlooked, but critical task as a homeowner. Properly caring for your unit will increase its life –– saving you big bucks! How? By preventing rust damage, keeping small animals from making their homes inside the unit’s mechanical parts, and more. Basically, it keeps your air conditioner clean and in tip-top shape. Bonus points: you’ll feel extra responsible once you’ve checked it off your to-do list.

When should I winterize the air conditioner?

While it’s best to take care of in the fall months, the saying it’s better late than never applies here. If it’s winter and you’re just thinking about it, it’s not too late. Hire a Tasker today and consider it taken care of.

Can a Tasker winterize my AC unit today?

Sure thing. When browsing experienced Taskers, select “Today” to ensure you’ll find someone in your area who can come over ASAP. As always, choose the Tasker that best fits your needs by browsing rates and reviews.

Do I need to purchase AC winterization supplies?

You can, but don’t have to. The beauty of working with Taskers is they know the way to get the job done the right way and with the right supplies. When communicating with your Tasker, you can share how you’d prefer to winterize your air conditioner –– maybe that’s with a simple board atop the unit, or maybe that’s with a cover. Taskers will make a recommendation, and that may include a trip to the hardware store, or it may not. (Don’t forget –– if a trip to the hardware store doesn’t fit in your schedule, we have Taskers for that.)
