BEFORE YOU CALL A SERVICEMAN
Let your serviceman check your system at the
start of each air conditioning season. He will
make sure it's working right, clean or change
fi lters and make any needed adjustments.
Otherwise, follow these simple rules:
1. Never run your system without fi lter. If you
do, the cooling coils will get dirty and may
become clogged.
2. Set your thermostat at the comfort level you
wish – and then leave it alone. Let it control
the operation of the air conditioning system.
If you get chilly, turn it up a degree at a time
until comfort is restored.
3. It takes longer for an air conditioner to cool
your dwelling than it does for your furnace to
heat it. So. . . don't turn the unit on and expect
a dramatic drop in temperature, at least not
right away. If your home is hot and humid,
the temperature will drop slowly.
4. Check your fi lters regularly, to ensure there is
not extensive dirt build-up. Replace or clean

fi lter as needed.
5. Keep your condenser coil clean. You can hose
it down when it gets dirty.
If your air conditioner isn't working:
1. Make sure the fuses are not blown or that
your circuit breakers are on.
2. See that your thermostat is set at the desired
temperature and that your system's switch is
on "Cool".
3. For free air fl ow, make sure your return
register is not covered and that the fi lter is
clean.
4. Check the condenser coil and make sure it is
clean and not clogged with grass or leaves.
If your air conditioner still isn't working, call your
nearest contractor.
