Is your air conditioning system ready to keep you cool and comfortable this summer?
Your heating and cooling systems need regular maintenance to operate at peak performance, and spring is a logical time to do a check-up. Consider the benefits of an air conditioning “Spring Check-Up”:
You’ll save money. A poorly tuned air conditioner wastes both energy and money. In fact, by having a system cleaned and maintained by a trained professional, you can save an average of $32 a month on your summer cooling bills.
You can prevent emergencies. Regular maintenance can detect minor air conditioner problems before they turn into major system failures. Since replacing a compressor can be costly, a small investment in regular tune-ups can mean big savings in the future.
Equipment lasts longer. Operating your air conditioner during the summer is like driving a car about 40,000 miles at 30 mph. Without regular maintenance and cleaning, parts and major components can break down under this heavy workload. A well-maintained system lasts longer.
- Inspect windows and doors for drafts. Use caulk to insulate cracks around doors and windows and replace old caulk when necessary.
- Raise your thermostat. Set your thermostat to the highest comfortable temperature. Raise a few more degrees when you leave your home or go to bed. A programmable thermostat can be set to automatically fluctuate your home’s temperatures based on your schedule.
- Consider installing an attic fan or vent to help remove the hot air that builds up in your attic.
- Seal leaks in your air conditioning ducts.
- Change or clean air filters.
- Keep window coverings closed during the day to prevent the daytime heating from warming your home.
- Change your ceiling fan’s direction to blow air down. A good rule of thumb is to run your ceiling fan counter-clockwise in the summer and clockwise in the winter.
- Plant a tree. Trees provide shade and are natures’ air conditioners.
- Have your air conditioning system inspected by a qualified cooling professional.
