Spring Checklist


Spring is upon us and Summer will be here soon... It's time to have a go at our Spring Checklist before that heat gets here.  The following are some general guidelines for keeping your home cool and efficient.

~ Call us!  We will send a HVAC professional out to inspect your cooling equipment as well as your homes duct.

~ Replace or clean your Air Conditioner's filter – You should be doing this every single month.

~ Rain gutters and storm drains... Better get them cleaned out.

~ Ducts & vacuum vents – Clean & clean

~ Take a look around for air leaks in the basement, crawlspace, windows, doors, and the attic too.

~ Attic insulation – The US Dept. of Energy advises a value between R-22 and R-49.

~ Curtains or shades should be drawn mid-day to keep the sun's heat at bay.
