Summer in New England is beautiful—but it can also get surprisingly hot and sticky. If your home feels more like a sauna than a summer retreat, it might be time to make sure your HVAC system is up to the task.
First, check your air filter. A clogged filter can block airflow, making your system work harder and your home feel warmer. Swapping it out every 1–3 months is a small task with a big impact.
Next, give your outdoor unit some space. If plants, leaves, or debris are crowding it, your AC can’t “breathe.” Make sure there’s at least 2 feet of clearance all around.
A programmable thermostat is another summer lifesaver. You can set it to cool things down before you get home from work, or ease off at night when it’s cooler. Even better? A smart thermostat learns your habits and adjusts automatically.
Still not feeling the chill? That might mean it’s time for a tune-up. At McKee Energy Services, our summer AC check-ups include checking refrigerant levels, inspecting components, and making sure your system is running efficiently.
