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

July 20, 2018

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

That’s why Moyer Total Indoor Comfort wants to share some simple tips to be sure you understand your air conditioning system and how to keep it working smoothly during the hotter months.

What do you need to know?

  1. Understand Your System—Assess the equipment itself to understand the make and model of your air conditioner. This will be useful if you have any concerns or problems, need to look up the manual or contact a technician for more help.
  2. Look at the Thermostat—One of the best ways to save money on your energy bill is to watch the temperature in your home and adjust when you will be away from home. Some homes have programmable thermostats, which means you can arrange a schedule during the week and not worry about constantly 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 off the bat, it’s helpful to have a technician or HVAC company identified in case of an emergency. From ongoing maintenance to repairs, Moyer Total Indoor Comfort can help with all your air conditioner needs or questions.
  4. Remember the Air Filter—We know life gets busy, so it’s useful 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 system work harder which decreases efficiency and raises your energy costs.
