HOTlanta

Can it get any hotter? This weather is too hot to stay out long unless we can float in a lake or run through the sprinklers. Do we still have water restrictions? Sprinklers wouldn't work then, not worth the ticket (or maybe it is?). With weather like this many people are remaining in their homes to enjoy the refreshment of the air conditioner. Along with this comes the need for air conditioner repairs. Maintenance is the solution to avoid high cost repairs. The first step is to make sure you change the filter every month, this is especially important during hot weather. To clean the drain, cap the end of the drain and vacuum from the end of the outside drain to suck out the dirt. By disconecting the power the coils can be cleaned, spray the area with a commercial air conditioner cleaner and then rinse it thoroughly. Make sure to follow the manufacturers recommendations as this can require gloves and safety glasses. In addition, an annual inspection and maintenance will ensure your system runs to its fullest potential, does not blow dirt and mold into your home and lasts longer.
