Are you concerned that your air conditioner may not survive the summer? While not all breakdowns are avoidable, there are several things you can do to reduce your chance of needing to call for emergency AC repair.

Try these simple tips to stay cool and comfortable all summer long!

SCHEDULE REPAIRS RIGHT AWAY

Unusual sounds or a little bit of ice buildup may not seem like a big deal, but such issues could indicate a serious problem. If you notice any type of problem with your home’s cooling system, make an appointment to have it repaired right away.

TURN UP THE TEMPERATURE

Keeping your thermostat set around 78°F during the day ensures that your air conditioner won’t work harder than it absolutely needs to. Invest in a programmable thermostat, and you can set the temperature higher when you’re away and have it automatically turn back down before you return home.

REPLACE YOUR AIR FILTER

Replacing your air filter as often as the manufacturer recommends is one of the best ways to keep your AC running efficiently. You may want to replace it even more often than recommended if you have pets or smoke inside your home.

KEEP YOUR BLINDS CLOSED DURING THE DAY

When your blinds and curtains are open, the heat from the sun can really warm up your home and force your air conditioner to work harder. By keeping the blinds closed, you can keep the heat out and give your AC a bit of a break.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH INSULATION IN YOUR ATTIC

The insulation in your attic helps keep the rest of your home cool. If you don’t have enough, your AC has to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature.
