AC Maintenance

It's not too early to start thinking about air conditioning. If you live in a northern climate, spring is happening and it will be hot soon enough. Get outside and check around the condenser (the big thing next to the house). Air movement is the lifeblood of these units, and anything blocking yours should be removed. There shouldn't be weeds or other greenery close to the unit to block airflow. Look down inside to spot leaves or other debris in the unit. If you are up to it, lift the lid of the unit and vacuum it out. Be sure to cut the power first! If this skill is out of your range, call a service tech. Regular maintenance is the key to AC equipment longevity.
