Summers in Indiana get HOT. Don’t wait until your air conditioning breaks down to give it some attention. Following these quick tips BEFORE the warm weather hits can help you stay nice and cool all season long.
- Rinse off your exterior unit with a hose to remove any dirt and debris. Use soap and water to scrub off any stubborn grime, but be careful not to bend or damage the fins.
- Check the air filter monthly and replace it with a new one if it’s dirty. This not only prevents your unit from overheating, but helps keep up the air quality in your home. And it’s easy enough to do on your own!
- Have an Appel technician out to give your HVAC system a tune-up. It may be a good idea to have your ductwork checked for leaks, as well.
- Consider installing a programmable or Wi-Fi thermostat to avoid wasting energy (and money) while you’re not at home.
- If you have an old system, think about upgrading to a new, energy-efficient model. It could save you money, in the long run!
