It’s been a few hot weeks in the Tri-Valley. Make sure your air conditioner is working and keeping you cool!
Air Conditioning Maintenance
- Have a professional check your system periodically.
- Oil the blower motor and fan on both the condensing and the evaporation units annually.
- Keep the condensing-unit pan free of bugs, leaves and dirt.
- Check the tension on the condensing and evaporation unit blower fan belts each spring.
- Inspect the blower ducts and joints for leaks and insulation slippage annually.
- Clean or replace air filters frequently.
- Keep the blower motor fan blade free of mold and mildew.
- Set your a/c fan speed on high except when it’s humid.
- Use a whole-house attic fan (check out this great deal I found at Costco!)
- Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible in the summer
- Don’t place electronic equipment near your air-conditioning thermostat.
If you’re in need of A/C repair or need to install a new unit, call me! I have a list of great heating/air contractors as well as a large network of resources I’m happy to refer you to.
