Monday, March 19th, 2018

man-with-air-filterWhen you need your air conditioner, you don’t really want to have to think about it. You want to adjust the temperature at your thermostat to your desired setting, and you want your air conditioner to achieve and maintain that temperature throughout your home for as long as you desire. Unfortunately, the fact is that you are still dealing with a mechanical system when it comes to your AC. That means that problems are going to arise from time to time.
