It’s time to think about turning your Hagerstown air conditioning on again, if you haven’t done so already. As you move into using your AC unit again, make sure you’re thinking about minimizing the strain it suffers. By reducing the issues that cause your AC to work harder it should work more efficiently and last for a long time.
Change That Filter
You’ve heard us say it before and we will keep saying it: change your AC filter regularly. Our HVAC technicians can tell you how often to do this, based on several factors about your home and your AC use. A dirty filter is one of the top causes of AC strain. Sucking air in through a filthy filter means your air conditioning has to work a lot harder.
Check Windows and Doors for Leaks
If your home is leaking air out of windows and doors, then your AC has to run longer and harder if it wants to keep up. If you’re not sure how much air you’re leaking, our experts can tell you. Extra caulk or new windows and doors can make a huge difference to keeping cool air inside.
Make sure you aren’t leaving your doors and windows open while your AC runs, too! This lets cool air out and makes life harder for your cooling system.
Improve Your Insulation
If you don’t have enough insulation, your AC will work extra hard. Get a professional to assess your insulation levels, then improve the situation at their recommendation. Your AC will thank you over and over again!
