Thanksgiving is over—and the winter holiday decorations are already up while shopping ads flood the airwaves. It may not be “officially” winter yet, but the season is almost here. And that means the cold weather is almost here as well.
But if you haven’t already arranged for an inspection and tune-up for your home heating system, don’t despair! There’s still time—and you shouldn’t skip it, since it’s the best way to see that your heating system works for many years to come.

The official start of fall is a bit more than a week away—the 22nd, to be exact. The summer weather hasn’t gone away yet, however, with temperatures still sometimes hitting the 90s. But it won’t be long before the cooler weather arrives and your air conditioning system will take more and more breaks, and then eventually go into its winter hibernation period. It’s a good time to evaluate your air conditioners performance over the last season and make some choices about it going forward.

The simple answer to this question: No, turning the thermostat as low as possible won’t speed up cooling your home.
This is a common misunderstanding people have about both thermostats and air conditioning systems, and it results in an unfortunate waste of energy and additional strain on ACs that can shorten their lifespan and make repair needs more frequent. We could just tell you to maintain a higher thermostat setting in the 70s (78°F is recommended for general comfort) and leave it at that, but we believe that informing our customers helps both them and us. So below we’ll explain in greater depth why setting the thermostat too low is unhelpful and can backfire on you.

Even if you don’t know much about electricity or how the appliances in your homework, you know that they shouldn’t be causing the circuit breakers in the electrical panel to trip when they turn on. You especially don’t want your air conditioning system to start tripping its circuit breaker during the summer, since it will cause the AC to stop working and leave you without the cooling you desperately need.

If your current AC is not working just as promised, or you find yourself in need of a new model installed from scratch, then you’re probably looking for answers. What type of AC would match your home’s needs? What do you need to do to make sure that you choose wisely this time and don’t waste your dollar on an inefficient system? Do you want a system with ducts or ductless? It’s best to get in touch with a professional early on in the process. But here are some things to start thinking about.

It’s going to be a long hot summer! If you’ve looked at the upcoming weather forecast and gotten nervous about all those days that will clock in at 100°F and above, well, you’re not alone. If you have a durable air conditioning system to manage the temperatures in your house, you can breathe a lot easier, however…
But wait… what if the AC can’t handle all that heat? What if it overheats and breaks down?

You’ve probably heard this advice before regarding the best way to run an air conditioning system: you should set your air conditioner to stay on all day (at a high temperature, such as the upper 70s) while you’re away from home, rather than leave it off and turn it on only when you get back home. The logic behind this piece of advice is that this 1) makes it easier to quickly cool down the house when you return, and 2) uses less energy, because an air conditioner drains more power at start-up than when running regularly.
But is this actually true?

We’ve written before about some of the maintenance jobs that you can do on your own over the summer to take the best care of you air conditioning system. The most important is to always schedule a professional inspection and tune-up for it during the spring. Another is to regularly change the air filters to prevent clogging from harming the air conditioner’s energy efficiency. In this post, we’re going to address another job for the summer that will protect and benefit your AC: keeping the outside condenser clear of debris.
