Q: Is 78 degrees too hot to sleep?

• <div><p>While personal preferences widely vary, sleep experts say the best temperature for sleeping is between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit rather than 78. If you do choose to sleep with your AC unit tuned to 78 degrees, you might want to use only a sheet or light blanket rather than a comforter. You might also consider installing a window unit in your bedroom so that you can be cooler in bed without wasting energy cooling the whole house.</p></div>

Q: What causes condensation on air vents?

• <div><p>Condensation forms when warmer, outside air combines with cooler air in your ductwork. This can happen when there are leaks in your air ducts, your HVAC system has a dirty air filter, or there&rsquo;s a lack of insulation around the ducts. To prevent it from happening, replace your HVAC filters as directed. Also, once every five years, hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/air-duct-cleaning/">local air duct cleaner</a> to clean and inspect them.</p></div>

Q: Does a higher BTU use more electricity?

• <div><p>Choosing a unit with higher BTUs can use more electricity if the BTUs are more than what&rsquo;s necessary for your room size. However, choosing an AC with BTUs that match the size of your room or house, your unit will cool your space efficiently. On the flip side, choosing a system with not enough BTUs can cause the system to work harder to try to cool the space, leading to more electricity consumption and higher energy bills.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my AC fan motor is bad?

• <div><p>There are many signs of a bad AC fan motor, including if the fan blades don&rsquo;t spin when the AC kicks on or if they keep spinning when the AC is off. The AC fan cools down the condenser coil, so a faulty motor can also cause the system to overheat. Unusual noises in the exterior AC unit, including grinding or rattling sounds, may also be a sign that the AC fan motor is worn out.</p></div>

Q: Should I stop running my AC if my filter is wet?

• <div><p>Don&rsquo;t run your AC with a wet filter. It can cause your AC to work too hard, which will run up your utility bill and cause extra wear and tear on the system. You could also spread moisture and mold throughout your house. Turn off the AC, remove the wet filter, and check for cracks or clogs. Fix the problem (with a pro&rsquo;s help, if you need it), and put a dry filter in place before you turn the system back on. </p></div>

"As a homeowner in Clovis, CA, I couldn’t be happier with the AC service repair I received from Roo’s Heating and Air Conditioning. From the moment I called, I felt like I was in good hands — they scheduled me quickly, showed up on time, and took the time to explain exactly what was wrong with my AC unit. The technician was friendly, professional, and worked efficiently to get my system up and running again, which made a huge difference in this Clovis heat! I really appreciated their honesty and fair pricing, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again or recommend them to friends needing air conditioning repair or HVAC services."
