It's that time of the year! The temperatures are reaching near boiling point in some places, and we're by all means; of course ready to take our air conditioners out of retirement.

Take a brief visual test to see if there is any blatant corporeal damage to the unit. Look for obstructions caused be vegetation overgrowth. Any obstructions can forestall your theory from working correctly or at peak efficiency. Also, make sure there are no nests that have been settled in on your equipment.

Check The Sound
