The answer is first and foremost premier air conditioner service that includes a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. And while we certainly wouldn’t argue the value of professional quality air conditioner service, there are a few things you can take a look at yourself.

At Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, we think it’s great that you want to save a few bucks on your monthly energy expenses, which is why we put together this list for you to consider:

Switch out your home’s air filter. It’s probably the most referenced homeowner task from heating and cooling companies, but it really does make a big difference. Dirty air filters block air flow and make it a challenge for your air conditioner to do its job – which means your comfort isn’t its best.
Seal your home’s ducts. According to the folks at ENERGY STAR, many homes can lose between 20 and 30 percent of the air that passes through them because of duct leaks and other duct issues.
Open your vents. It’s an awfully common mistake among homeowners, but keeping rooms closed off and vents shut in seldom used rooms doesn’t always mean you save money. Keeping all of your vents open helps the system accomplish its job because airflow isn’t being inhibited.
Air conditioner service. Pros recommend that you arrange up air conditioner service with Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. Any time you have air conditioner problems and your comfort is being jeopardized, call in the experts.
