If you spent time outside today, you know summer is almost here. Is your air conditioner keeping up? If it is not, there are two quick things you can do on your own: 1) change your air filter. A dirty air filter is hard on your air conditioner and keeps it from operating optimally. 2) clean the condenser (outside) unit. Leaves tend to accumulate in the outdoor condenser unit. Just spray the coils with your water hose. Clean coils may make a difference. If these ideas do not work, it may be time to call your heating and air professional.
