Absolute HVAC, serving all of Long Island, is here to help you keep your home cool and comfortable. Here’s what you can do:


1. Mid-Season Maintenance


The hottest days can strain your system. Now’s the time to replace air filters, clear debris from your outdoor unit, and check for any unusual noises or performance issues. These simple steps can improve efficiency and prevent costly breakdowns.


2. Schedule a Tune-Up


A professional tune-up is essential in late summer. Absolute HVAC technicians can inspect your system, clean vital components, and ensure everything is running smoothly. Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your HVAC system but also helps reduce energy bills during the hottest weeks of the year.


3. Check Your Thermostat


Your thermostat plays a key role in maintaining comfort. Make sure it’s set correctly, and consider upgrading to a smart thermostat. Smart thermostats offer more precise control, allowing you to adjust temperatures remotely and even program settings based on your schedule. This can help optimize energy usage and keep your home consistently cool.


4. Inspect Your Ductwork


Leaky ducts can waste up to 30% of the air your HVAC system produces, leading to uneven cooling and higher energy costs. Absolute HVAC offers duct inspections and sealing services to ensure your system is as efficient as possible, keeping your home cool without wasting energy.


5. Stay Ahead of Problems


August is the perfect time to assess the overall condition of your HVAC system. If your unit is over 10 years old, consider whether it’s time for an upgrade. Newer systems are more energy-efficient and can save you money in the long run, especially with the high energy demands of Long Island summers.


6. Emergency Services


Even with the best maintenance, unexpected issues can arise. Absolute HVAC is here to provide fast and reliable emergency services across Long Island. Don’t let a breakdown leave you sweating—our team is ready to restore comfort to your home.


August heat on Long Island can be intense, but with proactive care from Absolute HVAC, you can keep your home cool and comfortable.
