National Safety Month

June is National Safety Month, so we figured now would be a good time to share some safety information regarding your HVAC system. Here are some great tips provided by experts in AC repair in Bowie MD.

  • Always make sure the power to your HVAC unit is shut off before you begin any maintenance. This protects you from injury, and will also protect your system from any type of electrical shock. You should wait at least 5 minutes before turning an air conditioner back on after turning it off to reduce stress on the motor.
  • Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that can accumulate in your home as a result of incomplete combustion. Protect your family by equipping your home with devises capable of detecting the toxic gas.
     
  • Protect your skin. It is important to avoid direct contact with the chemical refrigerant used in your cooling system. To avoid injury while servicing your system, wear protective clothing, eyewear, and gloves.
