Air conditioning tips for this upcoming week. Air-conditioning systems in this area were designed for 90° - 95°  days, so the next several days of over 100° temperatures are very abnormal and your system will not keep up with these kinds of temperatures. There's nothing wrong with your unit. Your second floor may be at least five to maybe even 10° warmer than your first floor. If you have a first and second floor system, this won’t affect you, Make sure your air filter is clean. Do not close off registers in rooms that you don’t use, It will not make the other rooms cooler. Make sure that your outdoor unit has breathing room around it around 10 inches every way. No vegetation should surround the unit. Try to keep doors closed as much as possible, and, this may sound silly, but even turn off lights you don't need. Use ceiling fans if you have them, they will make you feel much cooler.  Please stay safe and have a Happy Fourth of July
