Regular Maintenance
- Schedule annual tune-ups: Regular maintenance by a professional technician can extend the lifespan of your air conditioner and prevent costly breakdowns.

- Clear debris around the outdoor unit: Trim back any vegetation and remove leaves or dirt that may obstruct airflow.
Efficient Operation
- Use a programmable thermostat to adjust temperatures when you’re away or sleeping, saving energy and money.
- Seal air leaks around windows, doors, and ductwork to prevent cool air from escaping.
- Close blinds or curtains during the day to block direct sunlight and reduce heat gain.
