Keeping Your Home Cool

Summer is here, and all of us around Washington, DC from Hill East, to Georgetown, to Cathedral Heights, and anywhere in between are thinking about how to stay cool and comfortable during the hot months. One essential part of keeping cool is making sure your air conditioning system is in tip-top shape. In honor of National Air Conditioning Day on July 17th, it's a perfect time to talk about the importance of air conditioning maintenance and how to know when it's time for an upgrade.

Maintaining your air conditioning system is crucial for its performance and longevity. Regular maintenance not only ensures that your AC operates efficiently, but it also helps prevent costly breakdowns. Simple tasks like replacing air filters, cleaning the coils, and checking the refrigerant levels can go a long way in keeping your system running smoothly. Scheduling an annual professional inspection is also a great way to identify and address any potential issues before they turn into major problems.

National Air Conditioning Day, July 17th, serves as a reminder of the incredible impact that air conditioning has had on our lives. It has revolutionized the way we live, work, and relax, especially during the scorching summer months.

Despite regular maintenance, there comes a time when it's more cost-effective to upgrade to a new, more energy-efficient air conditioning system. If you notice that your current system struggles to cool your home, requires frequent repairs, or results in high energy bills, it might be time to consider a replacement or a supplemental ductless unit. Newer models are not only more efficient but also come with advanced features such as smart thermostats, better air filtration, and variable-speed technology, providing improved comfort and energy savings.

Taking care of your air conditioning system through regular maintenance and knowing when it's time for an upgrade will ensure a cool and comfortable living environment. Stay cool and stay informed and get in touch with PACE to schedule maintenance or talk about an upgrade!
