It’s already quite hot and we can only expect to see temperatures climb higher this summer in Florida. It’s great to have a working air conditioning system to keep you cool…
Wait … your AC isn’t working? That’s no fun. In fact, it may be a serious emergency. The good news is that you can call our team for air conditioning repair in St. Petersburg, FL—we have 24-hour emergency service available—and get the help you need.
Before you do that, we recommend you go through some troubleshooting steps. We’ve frequently come to help homeowners with faulty ACs and found the actual problem was something quite basic. We want to help you avoid an unnecessary service call, so below we’re going to look at what you can do to troubleshoot your AC in case you only have a minor issue.
You probably haven’t given too much thought to your home’s air conditioning recently—mostly because of worries over hurricane issues. Thankfully, the year’s did less damage than expected to the Tampa Bay area, and many homeowners are going to turn their thoughts to more prosaic preparations for the rest of the year.
When it gets hot outside, you can expect your air conditioning system to run for longer and spend less time cycled down. This is the AC operating as it’s supposed to, and usually nothing to worry about. You can work to reduce heat in your house by closing shades, and you can raise the thermostat to a higher (but still comfortable) temperature to shorten how long your AC runs.
