Check to make sure the A\/C filter is clean. Some newer A\/C\u2019s have a removable filter with a screen similar to a dryer vent. These can be cleaned with warm soapy water. Other A\/C\u2019s have replaceable foam filters. Contact our office if your foam filter appears in need of replacement. Follow our step by step guide on how to maintain your A\/C<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Close all blinds during the day, especially on windows that face south and west.<\/a> This greatly reduces extra heat caused from the sun through the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your A\/C has an open\/closed vent setting, make sure it is in the closed position. A closed position cools air from inside the home. An open position draws in hot outside air and tries to cool, which will not be helpful if it is warmer outside than inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The A\/C temperature setting should be on a medium high setting. (On a 1-10 dial setting, the ideal setting is 7). If the setting is set too high (10), it is more likely to freeze up and quit running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A box or oscillating fan will help circulate the cool air throughout your home or apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Close the door to any rooms you don\u2019t need to cool (closet, storage, bathroom, etc.). The smaller the space, the quicker and easier it will be to cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The air conditioning unit is only designed to cool the air 15-20 degrees from the outside temperature. So if it is 90 degrees outside, your air conditioner is working correctly if your home is 70-75 degrees. It won\u2019t turn your home into an icebox!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If ran and maintained properly<\/a>, the A\/C will keep all of your home comfortable in warm temperatures. If there is cold air blowing out of the vents into the rooms, your air conditioner is most likely working properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following these tips will help keep you cool this summer while also caring for your air conditioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hot Weather Safety Tips For Pets<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Return To Home Page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3.
