Default Annual A/C Maintenance

You got to keep the outside unit clean, the inside filter clean (or changed) and the freon topped off. For $80, M&S does a great job every year for us on our annual maintenance. They even replaced the 9 year old compressor under warranty (another A/C service company wanted to charge me $$$$) by calling the manufacturer to check the warranty record, since I'm not the original homeowner. Don't have your thermostat set too low too (78 is a good number) and shut off vents in rooms you don't use much (spare bedroom) in the hot weather.

This is going to be an expensive electric month.
