Indianapolis, Indiana:November 18, 2011 - When local television
station
WTHR-13 produces a seasonal report about home heating and air
conditioning systems and how to maintain them, they regularly consult
with Angie Hicks, founder of
Angie's List.
For the advice needed to give these reports the authority of experience,
Angie and News 13 turn to John Traub, president of Thiele Heating & Air
Conditioning, and his team of expert service technicians.
"A home owner can tell that they're due for
a tune-up by higher humidity levels, higher electric bills, less comfort."
An annual tune-up will not only help keep a home’s AC unit operating at peak performance levels, it will also increase efficiency and reduce energy cost.
"Anytime the fan is on, you're moving air through the system. So the typical one inch filter that you have as a homeowner needs to be changed every month. If you have a media filter, or say a four inch filter, you can change them less frequently, but it is very important to the life of the system to change your filters on a regular basis."

For another report, "Keeping Your AC Working in the Extreme Heat,"
which was broadcast during Indianapolis' 2011 heat wave, Channel 13 News consulted
with Thiele Service Tech Keith Wray on how to keep home air conditioners working properly, and
what to do if your A/C system does break down.
According to Wray, to avoid an A/C breakdown, you should avoid the
biggest cause:
"Dirty air filters are always the number one problem.
Air filters should
be changed on regular basis to keep A/C units operating at peak
efficiency." (varies based on type of filter used, but every six months,
at a minimum)
Things to do in the mean time while you are waiting for the A/C to
get fixed include:
"Keep doors shut, shades down, put your fan on to
circulate air."
"Avoid upper levels of the home because heat rises, which
increases their temperature."
"Consider moving into the basement, if you have one. A
well-insulated basement can be 5 - 10 degrees cooler, or more, than the
main floor of the house when the air conditioning is off."
