We are in the middle of air conditioning season. Your air conditioner has worked hard for the first half and you want to make sure that it works its best. There are a few things you can do to help your air conditioner be the best it can be. The first thing you can do is to change your air filter. You should change it every month. If your filter gets clogged it will restrict air flow to the air conditioner and make it harder to cool your home. That will also over work the air conditioner causing it to raise energy bills and unnecessary wear and tear. Changing your filter takes 2 minutes and the filters cost next to nothing. Make sure you seal your ducts to keep in the conditioned air so it is not wasting into areas no one is in. This will help your air conditioner cool your home more efficiently. Be sure to check your vents in your home. Having vents closed off can means you are not getting optimum cooling. Perhaps one of the most important things you can do to help your air conditioner work at its best is to have it serviced and maintained each year. This will help the AC last longer and save you money on energy. If you keep up with your air conditioner by following these easy steps then you will have piece of mind that the AC will last when you need it most.
