It's Ask Dave Monday! Is David White a real person? Yup, he's my dad and after 33 years in the business he has gained a lot of knowledge. Here he is with my middle daughter when she was a toddler.
And here is the first one:
It was almost 70 this week. How do I get my heat pump or air conditioner ready for cooling?
How quickly things change. Summer is here before you know it and it's time for air conditioning. First, you need to check the air filter in your furnace. If it hasn't been changed all winter, now would be a good time. Secondly, go to your outdoor condensing unit. Make sure that no debris, leaves, sticks, etc. have not been blown up against it over winter. If they have you can hose it off with a gentle water flow. If any of the aluminum fins have become bent you can straighten them with an old credit card taking care since they can be sharp. It's a good time to schedule a "clean and check" service call. When in doubt, bring in the professionals! It may also be time to think about upgrading to a more efficient unit.
