    1. Turn off the appliances when not in use. Computer, microwaves and televisions may emit some heat when turned on for a long time.

 

    1. Be sure to place heat-emitting appliances away from your air-conditioning unit to prevent heat absorption. For example, do not place the television right beside the air-conditioning unit.

 

    1. Be sure to shade the air compressor outside your house. Hot air outside of your house may be filtered inside if the compressor is too hot.

 

  1. Think about getting proper maintenance to air ducts in your home so that everything works in top shape. By cleaning the air ducts, you will not only keep the air clean but also provide better quality as well.
