How To Properly Care For Your HVAC

* If you find your air conditioner is leaking, it could be caused by the unit freezing up. This is fairly common and many people confuse this problem with a plumbing leak. It is important to switch your compressor off immediately; you can do this by turning your thermostat over to fan. Make sure you have proper drainage for the water as the ice begins to melt, and then call a professional to check the system and fix it for you.

Temperature Change

* Keep your home from getting to the point where it is uncomfortably hot during the summer by using your ceiling fans. Air conditioners are not designed to create dramatic changes in temperature and will only really change the temperature by up to about 20 degrees.

Ceiling Fans

* When you do use your ceiling fans, make sure that they are rotating in the right direction. During hot weather, your fan needs to be set on "forward" so that it is rotating in a counter-clockwise direction. You can check which direction your fan is set by looking at the switch on the base.

Preventing Unwanted Heat

* There are things you can do to prevent heat from building up in your home and making it hotter than it needs to be. One of these is to keep televisions and lamps away from your air conditioner's thermostat. These appliances create internal heat which can let your thermostat think the house is hotter than it is. Moving these away from your thermostat will help to keep your air conditioner from running for longer than it needs to, lowering your energy bill.

Duct-Work

* Poorly designed duct-work and dirty coils can lead to a restriction of airflow. One of our professionals would be happy to check these for you and sort out the problem.

Annual Servicing

* The most effective way of making sure that your air conditioning unit is working efficiently and that it does not let you down when you need it most, during the summer, is to set up an annual home service plan. This will include regular tune-ups, keeping your air conditioner in peak working order as well as making sure it is energy efficient.

Keeping The Unit Cool

* Keeping your outdoor air conditioning unit cooler can help to make sure it is performing up to 10% more efficiently. If it is not already in the shade, plant shrubs or a tree near it to provide shade. Make sure they are not too close so that they still allow air to flow around the unit, and that a technician is still able to access the unit easily when needed.
