🔔 BEEP-BEEP. . . BUZZ-BUZZ-DING 🔔

🌞 Today is June, 1nd 2026 🌻

✔️ Monthly Reminder To Check Your Air Filter:

(1) Changing your air filter on time is the single most important thing you can do to avoid costly repairs and keep your home comfortable.

(2) Clogged air filters are the number one reason for premature equipment failure & poor airflow.

(3) Second floor bedrooms too hot or too cold? Dirty air filters also contribute to your systems ability to maintain proper duct pressure leaving those rooms at the end with little to no airflow!

Did you know?

Every home is different and some filters last longer then others based on many environmental factors. Regardless of what the filter says on the package, be sure to at least inspect your filter according to this schedule.

- Standard 1" thick air filters, should be inspected and/or changed every 30-60 days.

- Premium 4"-5" thick media air filters, should be inspected and/or changed every 3-6 months.

Homeowner Tip:

A great way to keep up on this commonly overlooked task is to add an "AIR FILTER CHECK" reminder in your phone to inspect your air filter to make your home more comfortable, save you money and avoid costly repairs.

Call today to schedule your HVAC system tune-up and save big money this winter on your energy bills.

HOMEOWNER TIP #4: Step-By-Step A/C System Check-Up

✅ SET YOUR THERMOSTAT TO COOL😎

✔️ Lower the temperature about 10 degrees

✔️ You will need your air conditioning system to run for about 30-60 minutes without interruption.

✔️ Make sure you have a clean air filter installed.

✅ CHECK YOUR OUTDOOR AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER

✔️ You should see the fan spinning and feel warm air coming out the top.

✔️ You should hear the compressor humming.

✔️ Reach down and touch the two copper refrigerant lines, the larger line should be cool to the touch and the smaller line should be warm.

✔️ Make sure your condenser coil is clean. The coil should look like the radiator on your car. If there is pollen or debris on the coil, it needs to be cleaned.

✅ CHECK YOUR VENTS FOR COOL AIR

✔️ After about 10 minutes, you should begin to start feeling cool air from your vents and the temperature should begin to drop.

✔️ If the humidity in your home is excessively high, the temperature on your thermostat may not drop for up to an hour.

✅ CHECK YOUR EVAPORATOR COIL & CONDENSATE DRAIN

✔️ Go inside and find your white PVC condensate drain attached to your evaporator coil.

✔️ Check to make sure there is a small amount of water draining from it properly into a floor drain.

✔️ Look for leaks from the condensate pipe, the PVC connections or anywhere around your HVAC system.

HOMEOWNER TIP #2: Cool Landscaping 🌳

Gardening and landscaping is a fantastic hobby to dive into, but please be careful about what you plant and allow to grow around the outdoor A/C condenser unit. This includes any flowers, bushes, small trees, and even crops planted near or around the system.

🌴 Is the landscaping in your peaceful backyard oasis a bit overgrown? It may be a good time to trim the plants back or relocate them completely.

☑️ Make sure you have the proper clearance from vegetation around your air conditioning system. The fan needs to be able to easily pull unobstructed air passed the clean coil fins to properly remove heat from the refrigerant and cool your home.

🌷 Nothing but ground cover vegetation under 6" tall should be growing within 2FT on any side of the air conditioning condenser.

🌿 Check above your A/C condenser for any low hanging branches that need to be trimmed. Ideally you want nothing above the unit but we recommend at least 10FT of clearance so the hot air doesn't get pulled back into the unit from the fan.

🌸 HAPPY GARDENING 🌻

HOT SUMMER HVAC TIP #1:

Your HVAC system's air filter works by trapping dust, pollen, and other allergens lurking inside your home. However, that means that if the air filter is dirty, then your AC will not function as efficiently as it should!

A good rule of thumb is to check your system's air filter once a month during the spring & summer (maybe at the same time you check for debris on and around the outdoor condenser unit itself - HINT HINT 🤣).

If your system uses a disposable filter, then you can simply replace the old with the new. If the filter is reusable, then just wash the filter, shake out the excess water, and allow it to air dry completely before putting it back into place. Putting a wet reusable filter back into the system provides an ideal environment for mold and bacteria growth
which is NOT very ideal...

Summer is here the hot weather is in the forecast. Using fans and home cooling systems are effective ways to keep cool in summer months, but did you know that you can also use ventilation and shading to cool your home?

Control indoor temperatures and conserve energy during extreme heat by:

- Covering windows that receive morning and afternoon sun with shades to help limit a rise in indoor temperatures.

- Using drapes, shades, roller shades, awnings, or louvers to cover your windows.

- Outdoor awnings and louvers can reduce the heat that enters a home more than indoor shades.

- Closing the windows if the air outside is hotter than the air inside. If the air outside is cooler, open the shades or drapes, and the windows.

- Although keeping windows and doors closed may help maintain temperatures, in some cases you may need to open the windows slightly to maintain adequate ventilation, especially while cooking and during other activities that may reduce air quality indoors.

- Still having trouble staying cool at home? Our NATE certified technicians are always standing by to help. Contact ICE-HVAC to schedule your air conditioning repair visit, annual maintenance or new A/C installation today.

Don't let your dog mark the air conditioner. This was caused by the corrosive properties of dog urine. Your A/C will not work properly once the aluminum cooling fins are gone. It may be time to start thinking about replacement if you notice damage like this on your A/C condenser.

Contact ICE-HVAC today for more information or to set up a visit.

☀️ Follow These Top 8 Simple Tips For Worry Free Cooling ❄️

( 1 ) Trim the bushes around your outdoor Air Conditioning Condenser. You want at least 2 feet of Clearance on each side so it can effectively remove heat.

( 2 ) Inspect the coil on your outdoor condenser. The coil must be clean like in the picture to cool properly and operate efficiently.

( 3 ) Change your air filter on time. Dirty air filters or highly restrictive allergy filters are a common cause for poor performance, inefficiency and equipment failure.

( 4 ) Listen for any odd noises while its running or trying to start up. If the fan is slow to start up or the compressor is louder then usual be sure to have it checked out.

( 5 ) Do you notice a musty smell in the house when you first start up the A/C. You may need to have your evaporator coil cleaned to prevent spreading mold spores throughout your home.

( 6 ) After about 10-15 minutes, check to make sure the water from the indoor evaporator coil is draining properly through the white PVC pipe into your floor drain or condensate pump.

( 7 ) Watch for any sort of frost on the copper refrigerant lines. This is a sign that they system needs to be cleaned or the refrigerant needs to be balanced.

( 8 ) Schedule your annual A/C tune-up & cleaning with ICE-HVAC before the schedule starts filling up.

Behold, The Father of COOL. The guys at ICE-HVAC have studied his ways and are dedicated to following in his footsteps. Give us a call if you would like to be cool too.

😮 Did you know?

- Air conditioning was invented to control humidity at the Buffalo Forge printing press, not to cool the air. They had a problem with blurry pictures due to the paper changing size before or after printing based on the humidity.

William Carrier designed a system where the paper would move over cooled pipes to collect the moisture just like your cold can of soda does on a hot summer day. This refrigeration process led to the modern air conditioning systems we have today. Your indoor Evaporator Coil collects the humidity (moisture) from the air in your home to make you feel cool.
