Do you know how to keep it that way? Reducing the strain on your cooling system is critical to keeping it running right. These two <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\">HVAC summer system tips<\/a> can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #1: Change the Air Filter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The air filter is one of the most important parts of your cooling system when it comes to maintenance. A dirty filter means your equipment must work harder to pull in air for cooling, creating extra friction and wear and tear that takes a toll on your HVAC unit. All that extra work can lead to breakdowns and the potential for repair. Change your air filter every few months to ensure optimal AC function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #2: Program the Temperature<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the top ways to minimize strain on your HVAC system is knowing the best settings for summer for your thermostat. Of course, keeping your home cool when you\u2019re there is ideal, but there\u2019s no reason to have the AC blasting when you\u2019re at work or out for the weekend. A programmable thermostat allows for optimal system settings to give your HVAC system a break and help you save money on your energy bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your air conditioner can take a beating during the hot summer months, and that extra strain can lead to breakdowns and the need for costly repairs. HVAC optimal system settings combined with proper maintenance can keep your AC chugging along all summer long. To find out more about both, contact the experts at <a href=\"\/schedule-service\">H.H.
