Central air conditioning: Easy DIY preventive maintenance

ts 6 p.m., a very hot 96 degrees with the humidity at about 80%, and you just got home. Of course, the a/c in your car didn’t quite have time to cool off before you got in the bumper to bumper traffic on the interstate, so you had to turn it off before the auto overheated. That’s OK. At least you remembered to leave your home a/c turned down to about 65 degrees. You’ll cool off once inside and you shed the sweat soaked clothes. Just getting the house key in the hole makes you sweat. Then it hits you right in the face! A blast of hot air that has started your head pounding. No air conditioning!

OK, I know this has happened to at least 75% of the population. Especially if you live in the south, you know what I’m talking about. How can you prevent this from happening again? There are no absolute guarantees it won’t. No, you can’t be completely safe from this aggravating situation. But you can help your heating and cooling system just by reading your owners manual. I know, who reads these things? We do, the ones’ who have been in this same situation. Believe it or not, there are some good facts that you need to know to stay comfortable.
