MGI Tip of the Week ๐
It is important to keep your system cool. If the outdoor components of your system are properly shaded and weeds, grass, and bushes are kept back 2-4 feet away, your AC can dissipate heat better.

Point box fans out the windows so they push hot air out. Adjust ceiling fan settings so the blades run counterclockwise, pulling hot air up and out instead of just twirling it around the room.

Consider lighting options that operate at cooler temps. LEDs emit very little heat. In comparison, incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat and CFLs release about 80% of their energy as heat.
During warmer months, your ceiling fan blades should be set to spin counterclockwise. When your ceiling fan spins quickly in this direction, it pushes air down and creates a cool breeze.
As the seasons change and the outside temps are comfortable, consider turning off your system and using fans to save energy and money. On average, an AC unit can use about 3000 watts/hour during warmer days, while ceiling fans about 15-90 watts and tower fans use about 100 watts.
Before the hot weather arrives, itโs a good idea to turn your unit on and run it for a bit. This is a great way to tell if there are any potential issues with your unit and will allow you to schedule a repair before the summer.
Preventative maintenance will make your HVAC system last longer by catching problems before they do damage to your system. A properly maintained AC unit will not only perform better, but also save you money by running more efficiently.
