If you’re a New Jersey homeowner or business owner preparing for the summer, you’re best advised to keep your AC in Medford running smoothly. We all know that summers in Meford, New Jersey can be brutally hot and humind, and the last thing you want is to return from a weekend at the shore to find that your home is sweltering due to a faulty AC system. A properly functioning air conditioning system can protect you and your family or employees and clients from overheating or breathing problems due to low air quality.
What follows are some of our best tips to keep your AC in good shape:
- Make sure the filter’s clean. Whether the appliance uses a disposable filter or not, the filter needs to be clean in order for it to function properly. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines about cleaning or replacing the filter.
- Replace the coolant. If the coolant runs out, it will need replacing. Turn the appliance off and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to the letter to refill the refrigerant.
- Remove electronic devices from the vicinity of the AC. Electronic devices such as televisions, computers and stereos radiate heat. When they’re close to your AC unit, the sensors will register a higher temperature than the room actually is and constantly work harder to lower the temperature. This results in a space that’s too cold and higher energy bills.
Have Your Air Conditioner Serviced
Of course, the best way to keep your AC running smoothly is to have it serviced annually by your electrician. A simple service appointment can take care of things like clogged tubes, worn fan belts and loose sensors and help your AC stay in great shape. This in turn guarantees a longer life of the appliance. At the same time, you might need some changes to your AC, for example if you want to switch from wall-mounted units to central air conditioning. In situations like these, always call your friends at Raynor Electric. We can come to your home or business, assess your air conditioning needs and advise you on the most effective and affordable solutions. And when it’s time to install a new AC, we’re there for you every step of the way. Don’t wait until summer’s here to take action: call Raynor Electric today!
