The Independence Day holiday is a time for backyard barbecues, family gatherings, and enjoying the summer season. With extreme heat in the forecast, your air conditioning system will be working overtime to keep your home comfortable. To help you stay cool throughout the holiday weekend, we’ve put together a few important reminders, simple troubleshooting tips, and guidance on the fastest way to receive assistance if you experience an AC issue.
❄️ Understanding Your AC Capabilities
Air conditioning systems are designed to cool your home 15–20 degrees below the outdoor temperature. If it is 95°F outside, an indoor temperature of 75–80°F is normal.
🛠️ How to Report an AC Failure
If your AC stops working, do not call the emergency line. Submitting a digital request is the fastest way to get a technician during the holiday. Our team will monitor submissions constantly.
- Action: Submit a maintenance request immediately through Property Meld.
✅ Quick Troubleshooting Checklist
If your system is struggling, please check these two items before submitting a request:
- Air Filter: Replace it if it is dirty to immediately improve airflow.
- Outdoor Unit: Clear away grass, weeds, leaves, or debris blocking the condenser.
- More Help: Review the APS Maintenance FAQ (Question #10) for extra tips.
🏡 Tips to Keep Your Home Cool
- Windows & Blinds: Keep doors closed and blinds drawn to block out the sun.
- Ceiling Fans: Set them to run counterclockwise at maximum speed.
- Appliances: Avoid using the oven or stove during peak afternoon hours. Use a microwave or outdoor grill instead.
- Electronics: Turn off unneeded lights, computers, and electronics to reduce internal heat.
We hope you have a safe, enjoyable, and hydrated Independence Day weekend! Thank you for choosing Annapolis Property Services. 🇺🇸
