When the heat waves are rolling in, air conditioning is a must to stay cool and comfortable. Heat and humidity can reach dangerous levels during the summer, and you want to make sure your AC is ready to go. Cascade Energy Services provides air conditioning maintenance in Issaquah if anything does go wrong, but there are some things you can do to help keep it working well.
Change the Air Filters Often
This is one of the most cost-effective things you can do to keep your AC working at peak efficiency. When the filters become clogged, the air has a hard time circulating right. Clogged filters also impact air quality in your home. Changing the filter monthly is a good idea if the AC is constantly running.
Make Sure Your Unit is Debris Free
We often think about the inside part of the unit but forget the outside. Debris such as leaves and dirt can get blown around the air conditioner unit and block the fan. If the debris gets in your fan, give us a call, and we can come to clean it out.
Make Sure the Drain Line is Clear
Air conditioners are fantastic dehumidifiers as well as coolants. The water that is pulled from the air flows into a drain. The drain can become blocked and cause damage. When we do a routine maintenance check, we make sure your drains are clear.
Have Your Air Ducts Cleaned
Getting your air ducts cleaned professionally helps your AC run more efficiently. The dust and dirt that settles in air ducts can cause poor air quality as well.
Regular Service is a Must
All the tips above are great things to do to keep your AC healthy. Regular service should be something that you schedule at least once a year. Twice a year if you have a heat and air unit. Schedule your air conditioning maintenance in Issaquah by calling CES at (425) 243-0371.
I highly recommend Bill from Cascade Energy Services. He did what other HVAC companies in the area weren't able to do. Instead of trying to sell me into buying a new HVAC unit (which is what I initially contacted him for), he found me a replacement part for my existing high-end Trane furnace, ordered it on my behalf for local pickup just down the road from my house. This saved me $$ by not having to replace my entire furnace. I had paid another HVAC company to come out and try to find the replacement part but they couldn't do it. Bill did it over phone / email and didn't charge me anything. I simply paid for the part (at wholesale cost) that he ordered, and once I plugged in the new part (pressure switch), my furnace was up and running like normal. I'd trust Bill on the any HVAC matters. He is very knowledgeable and cares about doing the right thing for the customer. I now have a trusted go-to source for future heating and cooling needs!
