SPRING AIR CONDITIONER MAINTENANCE
We have included a list of things you can do as a homeowner to prepare your air conditioner for the cooling season:

1. Check or replace your filter (should be done every 1-3 months during the season)
- A dirty filter restricts air flow. Your system has to work harder that puts extra wear on components and reduces efficiency.

2. Check your outdoor unit
- If you had a cover over the unit for the winter, make sure to take it off
- Make sure the unit is level
- Ensure there is no debris around the unit that will block airflow.

3. Check your thermostat and system operation- Set your thermostat on cool, adjust the temperature a few degrees below the set temperature and see if the unit starts- Confirm the outdoor unit is operating and air is blowing through the vents and they are unobstructed- Check for any unusual noises

YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL IN A PROFESSIONAL

If it's been a while, it could be a good time to schedule a professional Tune-up
- We will check over all the same items as above plus:
- Clean the outdoor and indoor units if required- Check all associated electrical connections and confirm amperage draws are within specifications
- Confirm the operation of the capacitor and contactors
- Confirm your refrigerant levels are correct
- Inspect the condensate drain
- Confirm your airflow is adequate
- Answer any questions you have regarding your systmem

BBQ GAS LINE INSTALLATIONS

Before you purchase a new BBQ with the traditional propane tanks, there are a few things you may want to consider:

- Are you tired of running out of propane half way through cooking your meal or tired of changing heavy tanks?

- Do you have natural gas at your home?
- Do you have other propane equipment installed at your home?
- Can you connect your bbq into the main gas supply piping?
- Did you know that you can get a timer to control the gas supply to your bbq? (Great for rentals)...

If you are considering connecting to your home supply piping, but you're not sure if it can be done or what it may cost, give us a call.

Spring is here!!!

Take a moment to review a few BBQ Safety Tips.

- Barbecues are for outdoor use ONLY. They produce carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can lead to unconsciousness or death.
- Always barbecue outside in a well-ventilated area.
- At the beginning of grilling season, clean your barbecue, check it, and test it. Don't allow grease to build up on the burners, lid, or at the base, as this could cause a grease fire.
- When it’s time to light it, make sure there are no combustible or flammable materials near your BBQ (including hand sanitizer), then follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Never leave your grill unsupervised while it's in use.
- Keep kids and pets away at all times.
- Don’t lean over the grill when you’re lighting it or when you’re using it.
- Keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergency.
- Never throw water on a grease fire—doing so will spread the flame.
- Direct-connected, natural gas-fired barbecues must be installed by a TSSA-registered fuels contractor.
- Never assume everyone knows how to use a BBQ safely... Share these tips with a friend...
