Summer time is in full swing! 

The temperatures and humidity have been brutal lately. This is taxing on everyone, but the item working the hardest is your AC system. 

Maintaining your system will help you beat the heat and avoid the pain and suffing of a crashed system on the hottest day of the year!

A few tips:

• Change your filter monthly.

Use a quality, disposable filter. The washable filters never really come clean and are generally not as effective as a disposable one.

• Keep your condensate drain cleaned out.

The most important job of your AC here in Florida is to dehumidify your home. (If it is 78F and 45% humidity, you are comfortable... 78F and 90% and you are a sticky mess...)
Pouring a cup of white vinegar in the drain, once a month, will clean out the algae and keep it from backing up. 

• An annual service/cleaning program will greatly extend the life of your system.
