As temperatures begin to rise, it’s time to shift focus to your air conditioning system. Here are some key steps to take:

• Schedule AC maintenance
• Clean or replace air filters
• Clear debris from outdoor units
• Test your thermostat

During peak cooling season, your air conditioner works overtime. To keep it running smoothly:

• Monitor energy usage
• Keep vents unobstructed
• Consider a programmable thermostat
• Be proactive about AC repair

Fall: Transitioning to Heating

As cooler weather approaches, it’s time to prepare your heating system:

• Schedule a furnace inspection
• Clean heating vents and ducts
• Check for drafts and seal leaks
• Replace batteries in carbon monoxide detectors

Winter: Ensuring Reliable Heating

When temperatures plummet, a well-maintained heating system is crucial. Remember to:

• Monitor indoor humidity levels
• Keep outdoor units clear of snow and ice
• Regularly change furnace filters
• Address any unusual noises or performance issues promptly
