Things are HEATING up! COOL DOWN!!!

In case you haven't looked at a calendar, or the weather forecast, SUMMER is fast approaching. For me this has to be my favorite part of the year, even though it means spending time in 140+ degree attics.

In this post I want to pass along a few tidbits of wisdom...or at least what I consider to be wisdom.

If you have been considering replacing your Air Conditioning system DON'T WAIT ANY LONGER!!! I say this for several reasons. The biggest reason is that you don't need to pay the electric company any more of your money that necessary, and a new, higher efficiency Air Conditioning system can help. Another reason is that the longer you wait to take action the longer it will take to have the system installed. It isn't unusual for companies to be two, or more, weeks behind on installs when it gets really hot. Finally, you don't want to run the risk of your current system failing before you can schedule to have it replaced. This might lead to you paying for expensive repairs, just to maintain cooling until your new system can be installed.

Another piece of advice is to check/change your air filters. Your Air Conditioning system works longer and harder during the summer months than during any other time of the year. As a result, the air filters will have more air pass through them. You want the air your family breaths to be the cleanest possible, so check/change your filters. If you aren't happy with the level of filtration at your house, let me know. I have a number of ways to make your house healthier.

You also need to have your Air Conditioner serviced, preferrably by a trained professional. A professional will be able to confirm that your system has the correct Freon charge and is operating correctly. They should also clean the coils of your Air Conditioner. If you don't have a professional service your system, you should at least take the time to rinse out the outdoor coils. This is best done by rinsing them from the inside out. You only need to use a gentle stream of water and wash from the top down. Make sure not to damage any of the coils. Damaged coils cause a loss of efficiency.

Okay, in the interest of time I will stop here. If you have any questions, or would like to take a look at some of your Air Conditioning or Filtration options, please drop me an e-mail, or give me a call.

HAVE FUN!!
