We are experts with Air Conditioning Repair tips you can use to keep your unit in tip-top shape.  Jay Young Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning is a trusted and reliable service provider that helps families to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.  We suggest that you hire us to perform ongoing maintenance.  However, if you like to try things on your own, these tips can help. Here is how to keep your unit in good repair.

• Wash off your AC coils.  Make sure to do this when the air conditioning unit is off.  Give it time to cool down than wash off your AC coils to get off the dirt and grime.  Hose it down gently using just water.
• Keep your return air vents clear.  If something is stuck in the vents, it will make your unit have to work harder which will cost you more money and make your unit susceptible to breakage.
• Check your thermostat.  Batteries can wear out in your electrical thermostat.  If you are having issues with your AC or your heat, the first thing you should check is the batteries in your thermostat.  Replace them regularly to avoid a temperature malfunction.
• Shade your unit.  If you have an outdoor unit build something to give it shade so that it is not directly in the sun, which could cause it to run hotter.
• Give it a break.  If you are worried that you may need air conditioning repair, try giving your unit a break. Turn it off for a few hours or a day to see if it starts working again.  This unit is a machine and like all machines sometimes it can run too hotly and need to cool off itself.

We recommend that you have us come out to inspect and clean your unit before the weather gets too hot.  We can identify any potential issues while giving it a good cleaning.  If any air conditioning repair is required we can take care of it on the spot so that you won’t have any problems during the hottest summer months. No one wants to have their AC go out on a hot and muggy day.  Unfortunately, if your unit is going to break it will probably do so when it is working hard, which means when it is hot outside.  That is why preventative maintenance is so important.  You wouldn’t wait to put oil in your car until the end of a cross country road trip.  Likewise, you should wait until the end of the season to clean and maintain your air conditioner.  Being proactive will help you and your family to stay comfortable all summer long while also keeping your energy bills lower.  The cleaner your unit, and the smoother it runs, the less energy it will use and you will have more money to spend elsewhere.   If you are looking for reliable services contact Jay Young Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning today.
