5 Expert Air Conditioning Tips to Keep You Cool All Summer
From De Hart Plumbing Heating & Cooling – The Company With Hart
When the summer heat hits Kansas, your air conditioner becomes the hero of your home. At De Hart Plumbing Heating & Cooling, we know how important it is to keep your system running efficiently—not just for comfort, but for energy savings and peace of mind. Here are five expert tips to make sure your AC is ready for the season:
- Change Your Air Filter Monthly
A clogged filter can restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, and lead to breakdowns. Check your filter every 30 days during high-use months and replace it if it’s dirty. This small habit can make a big impact on your system’s performance. - Clear Debris Around the Outdoor Unit
Your outdoor condenser unit needs breathing room to work effectively. Keep at least two feet of space around it clear of grass, leaves, or yard tools. A clean unit runs cooler and uses less energy. - Set Your Thermostat for Efficiency
Set your thermostat to 78°F when you’re home and increase it when you’re away. You can save up to 10% a year on cooling by using a programmable or smart thermostat to adjust settings automatically. - Schedule Preventative Maintenance
Just like a car, your AC needs routine maintenance to perform its best. Our certified technicians will clean components, check refrigerant levels, inspect the electrical system, and catch issues before they turn into expensive repairs. - Don’t Ignore Strange Noises or Weak Airflow
If your AC is making odd sounds, blowing warm air, or not cooling certain areas, it could be a sign of a bigger problem. Call a pro before it turns into a complete breakdown—your comfort depends on it!
