It’s mid March as well as where I live, that means my pal and I are seeing the temperatures get into as well as stay in the 69’s. Thankfully, the temperatures drop during the night back to the 60’s. So my pal and I still have cool afternoon as well as aren’t going outside with our pop to the tune of heat pumps singing their air conditioning song. That’s not far off though. We are now at the time of year where having the air conditioning strategy mapped out as well as ready to execute is essential. The first part of any nice air conditioning strategy is Heating and A/C repair. The heat pump gets to hibernate most of the winter time since there isn’t a sizable heating demand around here. So that makes it even more crucial to have the Heating and A/C professionals come out to do the air conditioning tune up in the Springtime. Normally, this is something that I do in early May. I get on it early because there are times throughout the Springtime where you need some spot cooling from the heat pump. Mostly, my pal and I just leave the air conditioning off as long as my pal and I can but being ready early is crucial. That way, I can turn my attention to the rest of the air conditioning strategy. The whole idea is absolutely all about making sure that my pal and I are maximizing the efficiency of the heat pump. So that means making sure the direct sunlight heating is mitigated with solar shades throughout the Springtime as well as Summer. I also like getting a narrow seal on the house as well. Another nice idea is to get ductwork cleaning as well as ductwork resealing done if you haven’t for a while. The ductwork cleaning improves the indoor air quality while the ductwork resealing is a big boost to the heat pump’s efficiency.
