CARJON Air Conditioning & Heating Blog
We’re on the precipice of summer here in Rhode Island, and it’s time to make sure that you and your family are ready for some fun in the sun. What many people don’t realize in anticipation of the warmer weather is just how important it is to ensure that your home is properly cooled for when the hot temps hit. Air conditioning maintenance can, unfortunately, easily go overlooked. If your AC unit is on the older side, there’s a good chance that you could benefit from replacing it.
Spring is in the air, which has many Rhode Island homeowners taking a moment to clean up around the house now that the winter weather is gone. While tasks such as cleaning baseboards and vacuuming corners often come to mind, one of the most important places to look when getting ready for the warmer months is your air conditioner. Air conditioner maintenance plays a major role in home performance, and ignoring it year after year will lead to nothing but problems in the long run.
Let’s face it: Rhode Island seasons can be difficult to deal with sometimes. When the snow starts falling, or when the heat begins, RI homeowners owe it to themselves to ensure that their heating and cooling systems are functioning at peak performance. Many people who have purchased relatively new equipment believe the systems will last for years without any issues.
