As someone who lives in Central Massachusetts or Southern New Hampshire, you’ve paid your dues this winter. Now that spring is here and the weather is warming up, it’s a good time to think ahead to the summer and make sure your AC will be able to keep you and your family cool no matter how hot it gets.
First of all, do you know how old your AC is? If the answer is 15 years or older, it’s time to think about replacement. Why? Even if you think your unit is still keeping it cool, old ACs can have a SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) rating as low as 6. Newer models have a SEER rating of 15 or higher. That difference adds up to hundreds of dollars spent or saved on your cooling bills during just one season. So investing in a new unit now, will save you money in the long run.
Brideu Energy sells and installs high-efficiency, ultra-quiet air conditioning systems. Not sure which system is right for you? One of our cooling experts will evaluate your needs and design the best system for your home so that you’ll always be cool—even on the hottest days.
Is your AC ready for the hot days ahead? Now is the best time to find out. Here are some tips for checking and prepping your AC this spring:
Once you start using your AC, check for signs of a refrigerant leak such as poor cooling, ice on the evaporator coils, and fluid spots near your AC condenser.
Preventative maintenance is the best way to make sure that your AC is prepared for the hot weather ahead. With regular tune-ups and maintenance, your system will run at maximum efficiency, thereby reducing your cooling costs. In addition, maintenance makes it more likely to catch small problems like minor wear and tear before they become bigger (and more expensive) problems.
Here’s what to expect when Brideau Energy provides a tune-up for your cooling system. Our skilled technician will do the following:
