Listed below are some hints you can use, before the hot weather is upon us.

• Check the furnace air filter. If dirty, it can restrict air flow and shut the air conditioner down.
• Check the breaker switch to the air conditioner located in the breaker box in the house. Make sure it is on.
• Check the outdoor disconnect. Make sure it is in the ON position. Make sure the a/c is free of debris on top of unit.
• Turn thermostat to cool position and lower the temperature lower than the room temperature.
