A properly working Air Conditioner Creates a Happy Home

That doesn't break the Bank!

Heating and cooling US Dept of Energy Suggestions

Tune up your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system with an annual maintenance contract. Even a new HVAC system, like a new car, will decline in performance without regular maintenance. A contract automatically ensures that your HVAC contractor will provide “pre-season” tune-ups before each cooling and heating season. Your chances of an emergency HVAC breakdown also decrease with regular maintenance.
Plug air leaks with weather stripping and caulking.
Install variable frequency drives (VFDs) and energy-efficient motors.
Balance air and water systems.
Install window films and add insulation or reflective roof coating to reduce energy consumption.
Upgrade and maintain heating and cooling equipment. Replace chlorofluorocarbon chillers, retrofit or install energy-efficient models to meet a building’s reduced cooling loads, and upgrade boilers and other central plant systems to energy-efficient standards.
