Summer is sneaking up on us, along with the urge to crank the AC.

Keep home temps and energy bills low this summer with these tips from the pros at Air Experts:

  1. Change your filters monthly to boost AC efficiency. Watch this video to learn how.
  2. Leave your AC at a higher temp while you’re away, rather than turning it off and back on.
  3. Schedule AC maintenance to extend its life, improve efficiency, and prevent breakdowns.
