Your Air Conditioning and Humidifier 

As we are starting to use our AC this season, here are a few things to remember: 


1. If you turned off your AC breaker in the electrical panel during the winter, this is the time to turn it back on, at least 24 hours prior
of use.

2. Remove any covers such as plywood, plastic or fabric covers from the AC unit.

3. Remember to level your AC unit. With time, the surface that the unit sits on may have settled. Leveling the unit is important for efficient function of the AC and for a long service life.

4. Do you have a central humidifier installed? If you do, remember that come spring it’s time to turn it off and maintain/prepare it for next winter when it’s time to use it again. In the spring/summer we don’t desire the extra humidity that a central humidifier gives us. We need to dehumidify the extra humidity we already have in the air by using A/C or dehumidifier. That’s why we need to turn off the central humidifier if installed, clean the filter inside and turn the flap to the summer position (usually marked on the device).
Stay Cool
