Summer started late this year in Central Ohio, but it’s safe to say its here to stay now! As someone who has experienced broken A/C on the first 95 degree day of the summer a few years ago, I know the importance of keeping your air conditioning in tip top shape to stay cool.
Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning has provided some tips to keep your A/C running this summer, and they are also giving away a free air conditioning Precision Tune-Up ($129 value). A tune-up is recommended annually to keep the system working at peak efficiency. See below for giveaway detail.
Air Conditioning Maintenance Tips
- Change your home’s air filter. It’s likely the most referenced homeowner task from heating and cooling companies, but it really does make a huge difference. Dirty air filters block air flow and make it tough for your air conditioner to do its job – which means your comfort isn’t its best.
- Seal your home’s ducts. According to the folks at ENERGY STAR, many homes can lose between 20 and 30 percent of the air that passes through them because of duct leaks and other duct complications.
- Open your vents. It’s an awfully common mistake among homeowners, but keeping rooms closed off and vents shut in seldom used rooms doesn’t automatically mean you save money. Keeping all of your vents open helps the system do its job because airflow isn’t being prevented.
- Keep the area around A/C unit tidy. Mow the grass around the unit and trim back any overgrown bushes or vegetation to make sure your A/C system is clear of debris. Keeping the airway clear can help keep your system running properly.
- Air conditioner service. An annual tune-up is recommended to prevent breakdowns during the season, help save on the monthly utility bill – and keep your warranty valid!
Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is giving away a Precision Tune-up to one Columbus on the Cheap reader. This tune-up will ensure your AC runs well throughout the summer. A tune-up is recommended annually to keep the system working at peak efficiency – and in many cases, you have to have the annual tune-up or it will void the warranty on the AC system. In addition to a visual inspection, Precision Tune-up also includes a filter replacement and total maintenance cleaning and lubrication of the heating or air conditioning equipment components.
