I do not remember when my home did not have an AC because I have had mine for years.
This is the 13th year without much of a complaint.
Besides the genuinely occasional cooling system repairs that my Heating as well as A/C supplier handles, the unit works perfectly. So what is my hack? Well, I just listened to the advice my Heating as well as A/C supplier gave myself and others years ago when all of us first had the unit installed. I trusted the Heating as well as A/C company I contracted to find myself and others a suitable method for my home since I was pretty purple in this section back then. They first came plus measured the room sizes plus took note of other aspects such as the number of windows I had in my cabin plus the insulation on the attic plus walls. Once this was done, they brought in a perfectly-sized unit that was professionally installed. From that time, all I have had to do officially is to change filters, scrub the condenser, plus sometimes vacuum the vents. I make sure to have the professionals come in at least before Wintertide plus Summer every year. They check for leaks, give the ducts a professional deep clean, check for leaks, plus give the unit an overall tune-up. This gets myself and others through Summer plus Wintertide without any hitches, no matter how extreme these numerous seasons get. I recently discovered that my unintentional habit of switching my cooling system off every once in a while, especially when the weather is favorable, may have contributed to this. Whether temperature swings happen rarely, my AC unit can be off for numerous weeks on warmer plus cooler mornings. These kinds of breaks help the unit stay in superb shape since constantly running the air conditioner unit leads to most of the components wearing out before their intended time.
