Now is a good time to give your
air conditioner a “test run”.
On a warm day before it gets HOT, set your
thermostat to cool for a few minutes to make sure your AC turns on and is
operating properly. If there are any problems, you can make sure to have that
air conditioner serviced and repaired before the weather really starts to get
uncomfortable. The last thing you want is for that AC to break that first hot
weekend, only to find out you can’t get service for a few days because everyone
else waited also. Along with that here are some more helpful tips to get you
thinking about warmer weather.
· Clean leaves, branches and winter debris
away from your outside AC unit. Also, trim back shrubs and bushes making sure
there are at least 12 inches of clearance from the unit.
· Switch ceiling fan blades to run in a
counter clock wise motion for the cooling season.
· Hang heat blocking curtains to help keep
your cooling bills in check
· Check vents to make sure furniture isn’t
blocking air flow.
And the
#1 tip to get ready for the warmer weather……
Schedule an AC tune up!
