To keep your Lafayette, LA, home cool this summer, follow a few basic tips. AC maintenance is one of the ways to keep your system working at peak efficiency throughout the season. If not maintained, your system may need the help of an air conditioning service company. Lee’s Air Conditioning will provide service any time you need it, no matter what model or age of system you have.

The first tip is to perform regular ac maintenance. Clean or change the filter on a regular basis. This prevents debris from clogging the coils. Have an air conditioning service company install a digital thermostat. A digital thermostat controls the system with precision, which saves money on the electric bill.
Your local air conditioning service company can inspect, repair and clean the ducting system. The technician will repair any leaks in the ducting system. The HVAC system will not have to work harder to make up for the loss. This also prevents moisture from infiltrating the attic. Your home will receive all the cool and heated air provided by the system. Although this is not considered part of routine ac maintenance, the ducts should be cleaned and sealed on an annual basis.
Turn the system temperature up as high as you are comfortable and use a ceiling fan. Circulating air feels cooler. Close curtains in front of windows facing the sun to reduce heat gain. Close the door to the laundry room to reduce heat into the house. Consider replacing an older system with one that has a higher SEER rating. Units are available today with up to 24 SEER. During your next routine ac maintenance, the technician can recommend the right size and type of system for your home.
