#acmaintenance #hvactips #homemaintenance #airconditioner $2,300. That's what one Ohio homeowner paid in April for a compressor that died four seconds into its first spring start, because of one ten-second thing he did the October before. In this video I walk you through the ten things to do before you shut your air conditioner down for winter, cheapest first: the thermostat setting almost nobody changes, the filter your furnace depends on, the drain line that turns into a ceiling stain, why a tarp is the worst cover you can buy, the roof-edge danger nobody looks up at, and the one move that protects the most expensive part you own. Most of this costs nothing, and all of it takes one Saturday afternoon.
