What do you need to know?

1. Understand Your System—Review the equipment itself to know the make and model of your air conditioner. This will be beneficial if you have any concerns or issues, need to look up the manual or contact a technician for further help. If you need to call us for new parts, the model and serial numbers are how we are going to find the correct parts for your HVAC system.
2. Look at Your Thermostat—One of the greatest ways to save money on your energy costs 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 establish a schedule in the week and not worry about constantly adjusting the temps. If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, you may want to consider buying one.
3. Find a Qualified Technician—Even if you don’t need service or repair right away, it’s wise to have a technician or HVAC company selected in case of an emergency. For parts and guidance on diagnosing your system, HVAC Parts Shop can help with all your air conditioner issues or questions. We have a very knowledgeable, in-house technician that knows exactly how to walk you through issues you may come across.
4. Remember the Air Filter—We realize life gets busy, so it’s useful to set a reminder or make a note that your air filter should be replaced when it gets dirty. When an air filter becomes dirty, it makes your cooling system work harder which shrinks efficiency and inflates your energy costs.
