Having your unit serviced by a professional technician ensures it is running well and that your warranty is protected. Like many larger-priced items, air conditioners commonly come with a long-term warranty that will step in and cover the costs should something happen to your unit. However, unlike many other products, AC warranties are often tied to requirements for seasonal maintenance, and a failure to adhere to this maintenance could void the warranty.

This time of year, when you're switching out filters and getting your seasonal maintenance for your AC unit done is a good time to clean bathroom fans as well. Your bathroom fans work hard all year and this is the perfect time to ensure the work they do is as efficient as possible. Remove the covers from your fans before washing them with soap and water. Once the covers are off, use a toothbrush to clean the fan blades before reapplying the cover. Just make sure the power is off before starting this task.
