What do new homeowners need to know about their air conditioner?

Being a first-time homeowner is extremely exciting and possibly a little daunting, too. Between furnishing the space and the new responsibilities of being a homeowner, there’s likely a lot on your mind as you settle into your new house.

That’s why SchagrinGAS Company wants to share some simple tips to be sure you have a grasp of your air conditioning system and how to keep it working smoothly throughout the summer season.

What do you need to know?

1. Understand Your System—Take a look at the equipment itself to understand the make and model of your air conditioner. This will be beneficial if you have any concerns or challenges, need to look up the manual or reach out to a technician for more help.
2. Look at the Thermostat—One of the best ways to save money on your energy costs is to observe the temperature in your home and adjust when you will be away or sleeping. Some homes have programmable thermostats, which means you can establish a schedule during the week and not worry about regularly adjusting the temps. If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, you may want to consider getting one.
3. Find a Qualified Technician—Even if you don’t need service or repair right away, it’s helpful to have a technician or HVAC company chosen in case of an emergency. From ongoing maintenance to repairs, SchagrinGAS Company can help with all your air conditioner issues or questions.
4. Remember the Air Filter—We understand life gets busy, so it’s helpful to set a reminder or make a note that your air filter should be traded when it gets dirty. When an air filter becomes dirty, it makes your cooling system work harder which shrinks efficiency and raises your energy costs.
