										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">Having an air conditioning system in your house is very important, especially with summer approaching. However, proper maintenance of the unit is equally important, as this helps guarantee proper functioning while lessening the burden of repairs and replacement. You should forget simple maintenance works, as they will go a long way in saving you unnecessary expenses while at the same time allowing you to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere in your home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">You should schedule your <a href="http://home.howstuffworks.com/how-to-maintain-an-air-conditioner.htm">AC maintenance</a> properly making sure that the minor works are done monthly.Major ones should be done after at least 2 or 3 months. This will help deal with the accumulating dust and will go a long way in not only ensuring that your system runs properly but also does not contribute to health complications for you and your family.Major and thorough maintenance should be done before summer commences to help you enjoy uncompromised services from your system. Below are some of the reasons as to why your air conditioning system maintenance schedule should be observed:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>You prevent serious system breakdowns</b></h2>
<p align="left">A proper maintenance schedule will help ensure that your air conditioning system does not breakdown, avoiding costly repairs. As you clean the filters and get rid of dirt and debris, the AC components will run without straining and will serve you longer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_11983" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-11983" style="width: 502px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Air-conditioners.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-11983 " title="air conditioners" alt="AC" src="http://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Air-conditioners.jpg" width="512" height="341" srcset="https://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Air-conditioners.jpg 512w, https://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Air-conditioners-300x199.jpg 300w, https://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Air-conditioners-140x94.jpg 140w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-11983" class="wp-caption-text">By Ildar Sagdejev (Specious) (Own work) [<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html" rel="nofollow">GFDL</a> or <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0" rel="nofollow">CC-BY-SA-3.0-2.5-2.0-1.0</a>], <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3A2008-07-11_Air_conditioners_at_UNC-CH.jpg" rel="nofollow">via Wikimedia Commons</a></figcaption></figure>
<h2>It will help safeguard the health and safety of your family</h2>
<p align="left">As you maintain your AC system, you will be able to ensure that it operates properly, keeping your house warmed and cooled as it should. A properly maintained AC helps keep your house as cold or hot as required, and anything that could affect this should be dealt with before getting out of hand.  You should have a professional look at the system every now and then to establish whether there are any problems that are likely to affect the operation of your air conditioning system. The air conditioning system can easily release allergens into your indoor space and this will eventually affect you and other home users.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>It helps prevent high-energy bills</h2>
<p align="left">Every penny counts and you should save even with your air conditioning system. Proper scheduled maintenance will help ensure that the AC does not consume more energy than necessary and facilitate in keeping your bills down. A professional air conditioning repair exercise can help assess whether the coils and pumps are functioning properly and whether the air ducts are leaky in any way. Ensuring that these components are in shape will help keep your bill affordable.</p>
<p align="left">Always make sure that your maintenance schedule is properly adhered to and followed in a timely manner. You should involve a licensed and insured professional when doing this as this will help you enjoy the peace of mind knowing that everything is under trained and experienced hands. Have your AC system fitted with a thermostat and don’t keep it running throughout the day to save even more energy!</p>

<p>The household tolerates DIY projects as long as it is not deemed intrusive. The changing to the manual butterfly valve in a home brew operation will not raise an eyebrow. Asking for the household members to turn off the air conditioning before they leave will raise a chorus of protests. The respective mate and children do not mind making the house energy efficient if it does not interrupt their routines or comfort level. Autonomous or remote control is a key element in getting any intrusive DIY project to be accepted by the other members of the family.<b><i></i></b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_11689" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-11689" style="width: 374px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Manual-butterfly-valve.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-11689 " title="Manual butterfly valve" alt="Manual butterfly valve" src="http://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Manual-butterfly-valve.jpg" width="384" height="396" srcset="https://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Manual-butterfly-valve.jpg 384w, https://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Manual-butterfly-valve-290x300.jpg 290w, https://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Manual-butterfly-valve-38x38.jpg 38w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-11689" class="wp-caption-text">Manual butterfly valve &#8211; Image courtesy of <a href="http://www.valvesonline.com.au/">valvesonline.com.au</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The war of the thermostat is fought on two fronts. The first is the adjustments by individuals that do not equate temperature swings with increased cost. The central heating and cooling systems consume a great portion of a household&#8217;s energy budget. The money involved for heating a room in the cooler months so the occupants can lounge in shorts is astronomical. The rest of the household can be oblivious to this. Their comfort will trump any argument based on financial savings.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_11690" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-11690" style="width: 230px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Modern-thermostat.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-11690 " title="Modern thermostat " alt="Modern thermostat " src="http://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Modern-thermostat.jpg" width="240" height="320" srcset="https://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Modern-thermostat.jpg 240w, https://dzhingarov.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Modern-thermostat-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-11690" class="wp-caption-text">By <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/12404620@N08/6988581111" rel="nofollow">Grant Sewell</a> under CC BY-SA 2.0</figcaption></figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The second area that thermostat inefficiency occurs is when the last occupant leaves the house. A small tweak to the thermostat before leaving will result in substantial savings. To the DIY warrior, it is second nature to do this. The rest of the members of the family do not have this habit . They leave on their merry way unaware of the money wasted by cooling the unattended house.</p>
<p>The solution presents itself in the form of an internet controlled thermostat. These handy devices allow for the budget to be preserved. Through a mobile device, updates and control to the household temperature can be retained firmly in your hand. The installation and setup are straight forward.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Thermostat Control installation tips</strong></h2>
<p>The first step in the <a href="http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/install-a-new-thermostat/index.html">installation of the new thermostat</a> unit is to lock out the power to both the heating and air conditioning units. Locate the breaker box. Simply turn off both the breaker(s) for both appliances. The wires are now dead and ready to be disconnected.</p>
<p>The next step is to document how the old unit was wired in. Denoting the wires the function of each wire by labelling them. The removal of the wires from the old unit is the last step before the unit is unfastened from the wall.</p>
<p>The installation of the new unit is quick. Fish the wires through the mounting plate of the new unit. Secure the plate to the wall. Fasten each of the wires to the corresponding spot on the terminal strip per instruction manual. Connect the remainder of the unit to the mounting plate. Flip the circuit breakers pack on. The unit should power up and go through a self diagnostic program.</p>
<p>During this initial power up, the password for your home network will be required to be entered. Auto detection will confirm the presence of both the heating and cooling devices to be controlled. The app controlling the unit should be installed on the remote devices that will monitor the household. A unique password should be used for this app to retain control over this vital function.</p>
<p>The system is now online for customisation. At work or on the road, temperature adjustments can be done effortlessly with your mobile device. Autonomous routines can be programmed for periods of the day in which no one is scheduled to be home. Alerts can be issued when the temperature is manually adjusted by the master unit at home. Money is saved and headaches avoided by making this process streamlined and away from family focus.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The summer will be here before you know it, and that means you’ll be turning on your air conditioning system. This is a frustrating time of year for many people because their air conditioning system fails. Not only does this mean they have to withstand high temperatures, but they also have to deal with the expense of repairs and replacement parts. Knowing what to do if your air conditioning system fails can help you lessen the frustrations that come along with it, and save you money.</p>
<p><strong>Turn It Off</strong></p>
<p>If you turn your air conditioning system on and it doesn’t work, don’t leave it on. There may be some parts of the unit that are on, and you can cause damage to them, if the entire unit isn’t functioning.</p>
<p>Turn the system off when it fails while it’s running as well. For example, if it’s working, but all of sudden the air turns warm, don’t let it continue to run. This can burn out the compressor and damage other critical part of the unit, which could lead to significant repair costs.</p>
<p><strong>Reset the Breaker</strong></p>
<p>A unit that won’t start at all may have triggered the breaker. To save money in calling a service man, reset the breaker for the unit. You can do this simply by flipping off the switch dedicated to the unit, and then flipping it back on. Go to your air conditioning system controller and turn it back on again. If the breaker was triggered, the unit should start up and function normally. If it doesn’t start running, turn it off and call a professional.</p>
<p><strong>Remove Debris from Unit</strong></p>
<p>Many times, debris can cause the unit to stop functioning. Be sure that the system is turned off and the breaker is turned to off to avoid injury. Inspect the air conditioning system and remove all debris from it. If you’re able to remove the cover, do so carefully to see if there is debris inside that can be removed. Once the unit has been cleared of everything that could be causing interference, replace the cover, turn the breaker on, and then unit back on. If the air conditioning system does not turn on or blows warm air, call a professional.</p>
<p><strong>When It’s Time to Call a Service Person</strong></p>
<p>No one wants to call someone for air conditioning system repair because of the cost. However, if you try to repair the unit on your own, you may end up doing more damage to it, which would then cost more money to fix. It’s best to allow a professional handle the inspection and repair, so you only have to pay for what the unit broke from wear and tear.</p>
<p>Before you call someone, consider researching the company first. Every company has its own rates, and that means with a little searching you can find one that provides the exceptional service you expect for a price that doesn’t bust your budget.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The winter weather can prove challenging to drivers, as the long dark nights and icy and snowy roads make driving conditions difficult and dangerous.  Whilst it&#8217;s advisable to stay indoors if you can, it&#8217;s not always possible for a lot of people who rely on their car to get them to work and back.  So, read on for tips and advice on how to drive safely when it starts to snow.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Is the journey necessary?</b></p>
<p>Firstly, ask yourself if your journey is really necessary.  If it&#8217;s blizzard like conditions outside and you want to go out but don&#8217;t really need to, then you might be better off staying indoors.  Or, consider the option of using public transport.</p>
<p>If your journey is necessary, however, then make sure you allow extra time to get to where you need to go, drive slowly and carefully and fully prepare your car before setting out. Check road conditions with your local radio before you leave the house, as well.</p>
<p><b>Clear your view</b></p>
<p>If you do need to go out, then make sure your windows and mirrors are clear from any snow and ice.  De-ice frozen windows with a scraper.  Use the car&#8217;s air conditioning to help demist the windows and reduce any condensation.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget about removing snow from your number plates.  If they are illegible, then you could get fined.</p>
<p>Make sure you remove accumulations of snow off your roof as well, as this could present a real hazard to other drivers if it falls and obscures their view.</p>
<p>Check that snow isn&#8217;t blocking the exhaust as it can cause dangerous fumes to escape into the car.</p>
<p><b>Check your tires</b></p>
<p>Make sure your tires are in good condition and can cope with winter driving.  Ensure they are fully inflated and that the tread is at least 3mm.  All season or winter tires have a high silica content in the tread, which makes them better for coping with the winter elements &#8211; so consider changing yours over.</p>
<p><b>Antifreeze</b></p>
<p>No car owner should be without some antifreeze during the harsh months, as it can help protect your engine from getting damaged from freezing up.  Always use the correct type of antifreeze for your car, and never mix different ones together.</p>
<p><b>Battery power </b></p>
<p>Keep a check on your battery when the weather turns bad.  Most batteries don&#8217;t last longer than five years, so get yours replaced if it&#8217;s nearing the end of its shelf life.  Try not to over-run electrical systems, as they can eat away at the battery.</p>
<p><b>Be prepared</b></p>
<p>Always be prepared in case you end up getting stranded on the road.  Make sure you have warm clothing and a blanket, water, a flask and some snacks, and your mobile phone.  Let people know where you are going when you&#8217;re out and about.</p>
<p><b>Drive safely</b></p>
<p>Bigger roads are more likely to have been gritted, so divert for your journey if possible to make use of these roads.  It stands to reason that you should never drive too fast when the roads are covered in snow, and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.  Don&#8217;t rely on your brakes, as they might let you down if the surface is icy.  Stay in a high gear that will give you better control of your vehicle and keep to a low speed when descending down a hill.</p>
