Steps:
- If your air conditioner never shuts off, it may not be running as efficiently as it can be.
- Ensure the outside condenser is debris free. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to keep the fins clear of dust, pollen, pet hair, or other contaminants.
- Periodically change the filter on the indoor air conditioning system. Use the existing one as a guide to purchase the correct size and follow the “flow” arrow when reinstalling.
