If you have ever encountered a heating or cooling problem, you know it is rarely ever convenient. As soon as the issue starts, you want them dealt with as soon as possible so you can return to your normal routine. The experts at Disponette Service Co., Inc. understand this urgency. They recommend routine, preventative maintenance -- this will ensure you stay cool through these sweltering summer months.

It’s no secret many people forget about routine maintenance until there is a problem with their heating and cooling systems. Why? Because people get used to the systems operating properly in the background. They stop noticing the system until it stops working.

To help you avoid an air conditioning system failure, the experts at Disponette offer these eight preventative maintenance tips:

• Remove any dirt, leaves, dust, pet hair, or other debris that is near your unit
• Make sure all plant life is at least two feet away from outside units
• Clean any exposed surfaces, both inside and outside
• Inspect for storm damage
• Listen for abnormal noises
• Search for unusual odors coming from your unit
• Routinely change batteries in your thermostat to ensure accuracy
• Clean or replace air filters at least twice a year

Properly cleaned heating and cooling units will not only keep you comfortable during tough months, but they can also keep your energy bill manageable. Did you know cleaning your air filter can lower the energy consumption on some units by up to 15%?
