Need Help? A/C Problems causing you to lose your Cool?

1) My light bill is high during the summer? Can I do anything about it?

Yes there are several things you can do to help:

• Change your air filters monthly.
• Make sure the area around your condenser (outside unit) is free of trash, debris, tall grass, and bushes.
• Are you using a programmable, digital thermostat?
• Have your cooling system serviced annually.

2) I have water leaking from a small pipe under the eve of my home. Is this normal?

No. The water you see leaking is most likely coming from the emergency overflow on your cooling system. You need service very soon. This small drain is the only thing between the water created by your system and your attic.

3) My unit kicks the breaker from time to time. Do I need to have it serviced or is this common?

Yes, you need to have service. There is either a problem with a component using more power than it should, or a possible issue with the breaker. Either problem can cause damage to other components in the system if left untreated.

4) What does SEER mean?

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. This is how efficiency of a cooling system is measured. The higher the SEER rating, the higher the efficiency of the system.

5) How often should I have my system serviced?

Both the heating and cooling system should be serviced every year by a professional.

6) What temperature should I keep my home?

Really this is a personal preference. But for every degree below 78 will cost you about 10% on your energy bill. It is best to have a programmable thermostat that turns your air up while you’re away and lowers when you’re home. A good programmable thermostat can save you 10% on your cooling costs.

7) How often should my gas furnace be serviced?

Every year without fail. A gas furnace can become dangerous and should have a safety inspection every year.
