Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring your air conditioning system operates at peak efficiency. Schedule annual tune-ups with a professional technician to clean and inspect the system, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Filter Replacements: Breathe Easy

• Replace air filters every 1-3 months, or as recommended by the manufacturer.

• Consider upgrading to high-efficiency filters for enhanced air purification.

Thermostat Tactics

Optimize your thermostat settings to strike a balance between comfort and energy savings:

• Use programmable thermostats to automate temperature adjustments based on your schedule.
• Invest in a smart thermostat for enhanced control and energy-saving features.

Proper shading and insulation can significantly reduce the workload on your AC system:

• Plant trees or install awnings to provide natural shade for your home.
