HOUSTON, Aug. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In June alone,
there were over 4,000 record warm daily high temperatures across
the country according to the National Centers for Environmental
Information. And now, it's officially the most sweltering time of
the year, when A/C units are working in overdrive. For that reason,
your local One Hour is celebrating A/C Appreciation Week during
Aug. 13 to 19.
Experts from One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning®, part of the
Direct Energy family of brands with independently owned and
operated locations throughout North
America, are sharing ways for home owners to appreciate
their A/C this season. Our technicians encourage homeowners to do
the following:
- Show your A/C some love. Your air conditioner collects
dust, leaves and other debris that degrade its performance over
time. After shutting off the power to the unit, remove debris and
trim any shrubs back from the unit.
- Have a monthly date with your A/C to change the
filter. Your air conditioner breathes through its filter,
and when that filter becomes clogged, your A/C unit struggles. A
dirty filter can cause your fan to wear out prematurely and can
sharply increase your energy use. Make a habit of replacing these
on time.
- Schedule a play date with your A/C's best friend (i.e. a
licensed technician!). It's important to tune up your A/C unit
annually. A thorough tune-up from a licensed
technician is the only way to give the machine a thorough
inspection to make sure everything is operating as it should.
You'll experience fewer breakdowns, lower energy bills and a longer
life for your air conditioner.
- Give your A/C a break by conducting periodic energy
audits to help identify opportunities for energy savings. Through
this process, you can seal up leaky ducts, upgrade insulation,
locate hidden drafts and more -- all of which is good for your air
conditioner and your wallet.
