When summer heat rolls through Monroe and the rest of Union County, the last thing you want is to deal with a struggling AC. At Collins Comfort Solutions, we’ve spent decades helping homeowners throughout Monroe, Charlotte, and nearby areas stay cool and comfortable—even during the hottest days of the season.
Here are a few practical tips from our HVAC experts to help your home stay cool and energy-efficient this summer:
- Don’t Skip That Maintenance Check
Routine tune-ups help your system run at peak performance. A professional maintenance visit can catch small issues before they become expensive breakdowns during the peak of July.
- Replace or Clean Air Filters
A clogged filter restricts airflow and forces your system to work harder. Check your filter monthly and replace it every 1–3 months for better air quality and energy efficiency.
- Set Your Thermostat Wisely
Try setting your thermostat a few degrees higher when no one is home. Smart thermostats make this easy and help reduce unnecessary energy use.
- Seal Any Leaks
Cool air can escape through gaps around windows and doors. Sealing these small leaks keeps conditioned air inside and cuts down on energy waste.
- Watch for Warning Signs
If your AC is constantly running, making odd sounds, or not cooling evenly, it may be time for a professional inspection. Addressing these signs early can prevent major problems later.
