With Florida's intense heat looming, Scott's Heating & Air Conditioning offers 10 steps to follow before running the AC full throttle this summer.

Online PR News � 03-April-2018 � With Floridas intense heat looming just around the corner, Scott's Heating & Air Conditioning, one of Central Floridas leading AC companies, suggests homeowners consider the following 10 steps before running the AC full throttle this summer.

First, start by checking the inside equipment:

1.Look at thermostat. Is it outdated? You could save money and energy by installing a newer, programmable thermostat.
2.Check exposed ductwork. Is there any visible wear in the ductwork? This could result in loss of cooling.
3.Inspect the air vents. Remove any items near the vents that could impede airflow, such as drapes, furniture or toys.
4.Flush the drain line. Scotts Air recommends flushing your drain line with hot tap water to make sure its clean and clear for your AC to use when the heat turns up, and your AC turns on!
5.Change your air filter. The filter should be changed every month and definitely before the start of a new cooling or heating season.
6.Check circuits to be sure electrical connections are on.
Next, its time to head outdoors to assess the outside equipment:
7.Inspect the outdoor condenser. Make sure there is no blockage near the equipment and clean the area around the unit. Yard debris can block the interior components and impact performance.
8.Visually check the refrigerant lines. Proper insulation will improve the efficiency of the system. Repairs to the insulation or refrigerant lines should be done by a professional at Scotts Air.
9.Check the outdoor electrical wiring. If you see damage or wear, call Scotts Air for service before using your system.
10.Consider the age of your AC and recognize when its time for a new system. Even if your AC unit has been properly maintained, it will eventually wear out, especially in Florida. The good news is, newer ACs have great ROI, saving you up to 20 40 percent in energy costs.

Hopefully, if you follow these steps you can turn on your AC at the start of summer and enjoy a cool and comfy home, said Scott, president and founder. However, if anything doesnt look right, or your AC is making a funny noise, call us and Scotts Air will be right out!
