Springtime in the Rockies is a time for hiking, biking and camping out. Springtime in the Rockies also means pollen, sneezing, allergies. Springtime means it’s maintenance time for your heating and air conditioning in Colorado Springs.

Okay, you’ve been running the furnace all winter and now it’s getting close to start up the air conditioning unit as soon as it gets to sweltering temperatures. Think of your furnace and air conditioner as a car. As it is time to change the oil, the spark plugs and check the battery, it is now time to clean the unit, change the filter and refresh the coolant. It is also a time for a professional to check all the hoses and make sure everything is running efficiently to save energy and money.

• There are a couple of things can do to help your heating and air conditioning service person:
• Vacuum dust around the furnace
• Purchase and replace a filter yourself if you can. Otherwise, have a supply on hand for the service person to replace it for you.
• Learn how to replace the filter because it is good to replace a filter every couple of months.
• Mow the grass around the air conditioning unit outside. Keep it clear of tall grass, weeds and debris. Make sure the cut grass and dirt does not get inside the protective cover over the condenser.
• Make sure the condenser is shaded but not tightly enclosed. If you need tips, ask your service professional what to do.

Keep your cool this summer and call your heating and air conditioning Colorado Springs service professional now.
