The warm summer weather is here. Keep your home cool and comfortable this summer and for years to come. All Temp is featuring attractive savings on all Bryant air conditioners. If your existing a/c is 10 years or older, you’ll appreciate the advantages of today’s high-efficiency models. No more Freon–which is now expensive and no longer used in the manufacturing on A/Cs. New units are also quieter, more powerful and use less energy–which will significantly reduce your monthly electric bills. Better yet, Bryant Air Conditioners are the choice of tens of thousands of homes across the U.S. And All Temp offers you savings with a “Best Buy” Guarantee.

If you need a repair or a tune-up, All Temp will get your A/C up to speed, with special savings. For special coupon savings, call All Temp, or go to http://www.alltemp.com/SpecialsRewards/ECoupons.html.

Chicago’s summer has gotten off to hot, steamy start. With temps in the 90s+, your air conditioner will be working at a challenging level. And this causes all sorts of issues, even breakdowns, if your a/c isn’t tuned for peak performance or isn’t a newer, more efficient model…because it will be working its condenser off trying to keep your home cool. All Temp is also working at a challenging level, answering calls and servicing customers around the clock. We do our best to keep everyone’s a/c stress-free, but, again, if your system is over 10 years old, you should invest in a new name-brand model, like Bryant. This is also why we always tell our customers to get an A/C “clean and check” before the warm weather begins. This assures your A/C is operating at its best, or helps identify problems before you find yourself sitting in hot house. Right now, we have a number of Bryant models on sale with attractive savings. Call 1-800-All-Temp or go to http://www.alltemp.com/FreeInHomeEstimate.html for a free in-home estimate.

1. During the day, pull down shades on east and west windows.
2. Delay running heat-generating appliances until night: such as using your dishwasher, washer, dryer and oven cleaning.
3. Keep the house closed tight during the day to lock out unwanted heat and humidity. If night temps are 68 degrees or cooler, open windows and use ceiling fans.
4. Plant shade trees around the house. Trees are nature’s air conditioners.
5. If you have an older air conditioner system, invest in a modern, high-efficiency unit. It will cool better and use less energy.
6. In hot, humid weather, make sure your air conditioner rids your home of high humidity. Models with variable or multi-speed blowers are generally best. Moisture creates discomfort.
7. Do not to use a dehumidifier when your air conditioner is operating. It increases the cooling load and forces your A/C to work much harder.
8. Always seal your A/C ducts, and insulate those ducts that run through unheated areas such as basements, crawl spaces and attics.
9. Keep the thermostat set at 78 degrees F or higher if using ceiling fans.
10. Close vents in rooms you do not use. It will increase cooling to rooms you are using.
11. To maximize efficiency of your A/C, get a clean and check service prior to the hot summer.
12. Clear away branches leaves from outside condenser unit. Make sure it is free from cottonwood that blocks air flow.
13. Use white window shades or mini-blinds to reduce solar heat.
14. Install awnings on south-facing windows to provide shade.
15. Apply low-e films to your windows if they do not have such film.
16. Turn off your A/C when you leave your home for more than an hour. Or get a thermostat that adjusts automatically.
