It’s already time to think about air conditioning

            The comfortable spring weather is more likely to nudge you to open your windows than to turn on the air conditioner—and that makes this the perfect time to make sure your a/c is in shape for the summer heat that’s just a few months away.

            The best time to service your home’s air conditioning system is when you don’t need it. If you put if off until it’s 90 degrees outdoors, you could be dealing with some down time that can leave your home pretty uncomfortable.

            Annual service is important because your technician will lubricate and clean moving parts and check for—and repair—potential problems. That will make it more likely that your system will run smoothly all summer.

            Choose an a/c tech who is licensed by the state. Chances are, the same tech can come back in the fall to tune up your heating system.

Currently, there is also a $30 EnergyWise incentive available to homeowners that have their cooling system tuned-up, regardless of what type or age of cooling system it is (air conditioner, air of water source heat pump).  Annual maintenance of your system is a good idea however, customers are only eligible for the $30 EnergyWise incentive a minimum of every three years.

 

Contact Southwest Public Power District for more information, or for an application for the $30 rebate.
