1. Change The Filter Once A Month.A nasty dirty filter on your central cooling unit can stop air flow and cause all kinds of problems that can cost you real money to repair. If HVAC has a washable filter then turn the unit off while you remove it, wash it and let it dry well. You can turn it back on after your filter has been placed back in the unit. You can look on your filter and find the MERV or minimum efficiency reporting value (which ranges from 1-12) to see how much filtration It has. The higher the MERV rating the better.
2. Fix Air Leaks in Your Duct Work.You can lose lots of cool air through ducts that have not been sealed well. This cost you money on your electric bill and makes your AC unit have to work harder to cool your home. You can test for leaks in ducts by lighting some incense and holding it near your duct connections. If the smoke blows around then air is escaping. You can seal them with foil tape you can pick up at any hardware store. 3.
