Good evening everyone. Happy Friday!
Everyone knows that you are supposed to do preventative maintenance on your A/C unit but how many of people really know how to do it?

Please see the link below which provides 10 easy steps.

10 Easy Steps to Keep Your Air-Conditioning Unit Running Smoothly Regular cleaning and maintenance will save you money and extend the life of your heat pump or HVAC unit.

3rd way to reduce cooling costs.

3. Maintain cooling systems. It’s not enough to use an energy-efficient AC and install a programmable thermostat. If you don’t properly care for your equipment, it won’t reduce your cooling costs. Dirty AC filters block airflow and make units work harder to cool your home. Cleaning and/or replacing filters once per month will lower an AC’s energy consumption by 5% to 15%. If you have a central cooling system, be sure that floor registers aren’t blocked with dust—or furniture. A unit’s evaporator and condenser coils (located outside) should also be clear of dirt and other debris (fallen leaves, branches, grass). And clip foliage so that it always remains at least 2 feet from the condenser.

Good morning everyone. I hope you had a great Fourth of July.

Tip number 2 (Reduce Cooling Costs this Summer)

2. Run your AC more economically. “Setting your AC as high as is comfortably possible and using a programmable thermostat to increase temperature when you’re out, or asleep, could easily decrease your summer cooling bill by 10%,” says Christina Kielich, spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Energy. Remember: The smaller the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures throughout the summer season, the less you’ll spend. Set your AC’s thermostat to 78ºF instead of 72ºF (if you don’t mind some heat) and you could lop as much as 18% off your summer cooling costs. Coming into to a hot house? Turning the AC to a colder-than-normal setting won’t cool rooms any faster. “You’ll probably forget you turned it down in the first place, resulting in pointless spending,” adds Kielich.
