Here in Florida, the Air Conditioner is one of the most important systems in the home especially as we work our way into warmer months. Right about now (mid-March) we should start seeing a barrage of AC Tune up commercials on every channel.
Take advantage of their $59 special and treat your A/C to a cleaning and tune up. One of the most frustrating things that can happen is for the A/C to stop working while the house is for sale/under contract. So, order your tune up and add that receipt to your book of paperwork from Day 1.
While we are on the topic, replace your A/C filter(s) at this time. The home inspector will see it and therefore the potential buyer will see it, so make sure it's clean!
Changing the filter frequently is one of the easiest things you can do to extend the life of your unit. And if you have pets like I do, change as often as you like. Between dogs and allergies, I change my mid-MERV rated filters every month. Do some research on MERV ratings and see what works best for you. The higher rating isn't always better, long term.
