Seasonal Tips… SUMMER
To Get Ready for Summer:
- Change your filters.
- Turn off your humidifier for the summer months.
- Test your air conditioner before the hot weather begins. If you experience a problem, you don't want to find that out on the first day of a heat wave!
Summer Energy Saving Tips:
- During the cooling season, set your thermostat at 75° F or above.
- Do not set the thermostat below 70° F at night or ice might form on the indoor coil.
- Make sure your filter is clean.
- Have your system checked by a professional to make sure that your refrigerant level is correct and that your coils are clean.
- If you have a programmable thermostat, programming the thermostat to turn up an additional five degrees when you plan to be away will save more energy.
- Keep your shades drawn on the sunny side of the house during the day.
- Trim the shrubs surrounding your heat pump or air conditioner to ensure good air exchange across the coil.
If You Lose Power. . .
If your air conditioner or heat pump is running and you experience a power outage for any reason, (lightning strikes, storms, power line damage, etc.) a shut-off sensor in the unit can be activated.
This sensor is called
the "time-delay" sensor. It protects the unit
from any further damage due to successive power surges by
preventing the unit from re-starting immediately. The time
before the unit can come back on varies between 10 and 20
minutes.
If this happens, turn the system to "Off" at the thermostat and wait 20 minutes to allow the sensor to re-set before attempting to turn the unit back on. If it does not restart, then call for service.
-
Blow grass clippings away from the condensing unit to keep clippings from blocking the coil.
