Fall will be here in a few weeks, and with it comes the eventual need to shut down your air conditioner and turn on your heater. Last week, we dealt with getting your heating system up to speed with timely maintenance. This week, we’re going to cover winterizing your air conditioner, and preparing it for months of inactivity as winter arrives.

Commercial air conditioners are even more important than residential air conditioners in many ways. Most of us spend the bulk of our days as a business or retail space, after all, and if you’re either a business owner or an office manager, you know how important a comfortable environment is. A problem with your commercial air conditioners could send customers away in droves, force your employees to work in hot and uncomfortable conditions (or even make you send them home for the day), and even damage key components to your business like computers, which can overheat in the midst of our 
Centralized heating and air conditioning systems rely on a series of ducts to carry cool air to the various corners of your home. They do the same job in the winter when it comes to hot air from your furnace. They do their jobs well in most cases, and because they’re usually hidden behind the walls or in the attic, they don’t often suffer damage. When they do, however – or even when age and wear-and-tear create leaks or breaches – then it can be very hard to spot the damage. 
It can be tough to know when your air conditioner needs to be replaced. 
Summers in Indiana are stiflingly hot, with temperatures routinely climbing towards triple digits and beyond. But worse than the heat is the high humidity: turning our homes into swamps and reducing everything to a muggy soggy mess. Air conditioners can deal with humidity by default, but they’re not set up to handle the problem the right way, which can add to monthly bills and increase strain on the system overall.
