A/C Tune Up: Start Early, Save More!
When temperatures begin to rise, your energy bill will likely rise too. You can keep costs low and your home cool when you schedule regular maintenance tune-ups on your air conditioner.
Schedule a tune-up appointment and maximize efficiency and your budget. Schedule early with Service Experts and take advantage of preseason tune-up discounts.
There are a few easy steps you can do yourself to ensure your system is running more efficiently. You may be surprised to learn that 30 percent of the air in the average central air conditioning system escapes ducting in basements, crawlspaces or attics. Loose or open duct seams allows air to seep out. Simply seal the ducts with Duct Mastic to ensure the seams are keeping all of your cool air in its place. Or contact Service Experts and ask for a complete analysis of your air distribution and duct system. An indoor air analysis is included!
CHECKLIST FOR ENERGY SAVINGS
Here's an important checklist to save energy in the warmer months:
Have indoor and outdoor coils cleaned before warm weather starts. A dirty coil reduces the system's ability to cool.
Have your central air conditioner's refrigerant checked and adjusted.
Have blower components cleaned and adjusted to provide proper system airflow.
