’Tis the season to schedule your air-conditioning system’s annual checkup.

A qualified HVAC tech can do the routine maintenance that will keep your system humming throughout the hot summer, and can diagnose and repair any problems that might have cropped up since your last tune-up.

You can do your part to get your system ready for summer by changing air filters, cleaning leaves and other debris away from the outside unit, and installing a programmable thermostat that will automatically make the house cooler when everyone is in it and a little bit warmer during the day when the family is away.
