AC tips

Summary

The Denver area is heading into another hot summer, and drivers should check if their AC is working properly before the heat sets in. A well-functioning system should cool at least 40-50 degrees below outside temperatures.

  • Vehicles parked in the sun can reach 130-170 degrees, making a working AC system a real necessity. Drivers who have kept windows open this spring may not know if their AC is performing well.
  • Handling refrigerants is not a job for the average car owner. A leaking system can harm the environment, cost more money, and reduce comfort.
  • We can test your AC system and give you peace of mind before hot days become routine. If your AC is not getting cold, give us a call.
What are some tips for keeping your AC running efficiently during hot summer weather?

To keep your AC running well during hot summer months, change your air filter regularly, keep vents clear of furniture or obstructions, set your thermostat to a consistent temperature, and schedule a professional tune-up before peak heat arrives. These simple steps help your system cool your home more effectively while reducing energy costs.

The Denver area is at the edge of another hot summer.  We’ve been fortunate to have a fairly cool May and June so far, but as you know, the weather changes very quickly here.  (Forecast is for 90-degree temps on Friday)

If you have been driving with your windows open so far this spring season, you may not know if your AC is functioning at peak levels.  Does it cool to at least 40-50 degrees below the temps outside?  Our vehicles can reach 130-170 degrees when parked in the hot sun.  Dealing with refrigerants for your car’s air conditioning isn’t for the general car owner.  If your system is leaking, it isn’t good for the environment, your pocketbook or your comfort.

We can test your system and give you some peace of mind before consistently hot days are the norm.  So crank your AC and see if it gets really cold today.  If not, give us a call.
