Being a first-time homeowner is very exciting and likely a little daunting, too. Between furnishing the space and the new responsibilities of owning a home, there’s likely a lot on your mind as you settle into your new space.
That’s why Gopher Heating and Air Conditioning wants to share some simple tips to be sure you have a sense of your air conditioning system and how to keep it running smoothly during the hotter months.
What do you need to know?
- Understand Your System—Take a look at the equipment itself to acknowledge the make and model of your air conditioner. This will be useful if you have any concerns or problems, need to look up the manual or reach out to a technician for more help.
- Look at the Thermostat—One of the best ways to save money on your utility bills is to watch the temperature in your home and adjust when you will be away from home. Some homes have programmable thermostats, which means you can set a schedule throughout the week and not worry about regularly adjusting the temps. If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, you may want to consider purchasing one.
- Find a Qualified Technician—Even if you don’t need service or repair right away, it’s wise to have a technician or HVAC company identified in case of an emergency. From ongoing maintenance to repairs, Gopher Heating and Air Conditioning can help with all your air conditioner needs or questions.
- Remember the Air Filter—We understand life gets busy, so it’s beneficial to set a reminder or make a note that your air filter should be replaced when it gets dirty. When an air filter becomes dirty, it makes your system work harder which shrinks efficiency and raises your energy costs.
