Keeping Your Home Comfortable As Fall Arrives

October 11, 2016

Bust out the pumpkin spice, fall is officially in the air in West Columbia. Your air conditioner has made it through another summer, but we all know how weird fall weather can be. Mother nature doesn’t always follow the calendar; she does her own thing. How do you stay comfortable and keep up with air conditioner service as we go into cooler weather?

Clean Your Outdoor Unit

The temperatures aren’t the only things that are going down, leaves and debris tend to build up around your outdoor unit this season. If you haven’t gotten around to raking the sticks and leaves, make a point to clean up around your outdoor air conditioner unit. Debris can negatively affect the air flow into your system, causing it to degrade performance.

Install a Smart Thermostat

Fall is a transitional season. One day you could be wearing short sleeves, the next day you’ll need a long sleeve shirt. Smart thermostats are connected to Wi-Fi and actually keep up with the weather in West Columbia which makes seasonal transitions easy. They also pick up on your schedule and behaviors to boost your energy efficiency and comfort.
