With the significant increase in refrigerant and equipment costs, it is time to perform preventive maintenance on your AC unit.

Below are tips on how to keep your air conditioning unit running efficiently.

1. Contact a trusted professional technician or contractor that you have already worked with in the past.
2. Inquire about the Freon costs. Most of the area contractors charge $30 to $40 per pound.
3. Make sure to check for the contract’s license. If a contractor doesn’t have a license, their insurance will not cover them in case of problems.
4. Change your filter regularly. Good airflow is necessary for your air conditioning unit to work well.
5. Use a Shop Vac to suck out the drain line. This can save you expensive service calls.
