Once again, we're moving into and through the hot, hot summer months . There are several things you can do to help keep your A/C running efficiently and keeping you as cool as possible:
1) Make sure you are changing your air filter monthly, as air flow is essential, make sure to install it with the arrow on the frame facing in, towards the unit
2) Keep your blinds and window coverings closed
3) Keep interior doors open so cool air can circulate more easily
4) Adjust your air vents -- close vents in rooms you are not using to help more air get to the rooms where you are most likely to need it.
5) If you've had your unit off and get home and it's hot, be careful not to turn the temperature down too much at once -- this can stress the system and not let it shut off to rest which can lead to freezing up. Turn the temperature down in increments.
6) Again, we know it's hard, but make sure not to set your thermostat too low as this will stress the system and can cause damage -- ESPECIALLY during the hottest parts of the day. Please don't set your thermostat lower than 72 during the hottest parts of the day in the Summer.
Following these steps can help keep your A/C running efficiently and prevent damage that might leave you without air conditioning until we can get a contractor out to evaluate and perform repairs (they are VERY busy in the summer and you may be looking at a day or more wait for service).
