Sacramento Realtor Tip

Before leaving to show homes for sale in Folsom, I decided to turn my air conditioning on since it was a bit muggy. 

I heard the motor of the condenser outside running but the temperature inside was not cooling down.  Since my filter is always clean, that leads me to think  the A/C has a definite problem and needs servicing.

Thank heavens the hottest time of the year is not underway.  I have the feeling that my air conditioner is on borrowed time, being 10 years old and each year being maintained and serviced, I’ve been told that it’s only a matter of time before it goes out.

As a Sacramento Realtor, I know that having a home warranty plan is essential as well as maintaining the equipment in my home and rentals.  So, I have called the home warranty for my home A/C unit and and await the call from the contractor for a home visit.

In the meantime, since I pay a yearly plan for maintenance of the heating and A/C,  I will call to have one of the rental units serviced so that when the heat in the Sacramento area starts climbing in the 3 digits, my renters will be comfortable.

Be sure to clean those filters so you don’t pay more on your electric bill and cause your A/C units added stress.  I can’t tell you how many homes I go into that have dirty filters which is not only wear and tear on the unit but very costly for the homeowner.

I share this with you as a Realtor, homeowner and investor since now is the time to get those A/C units serviced before the heating and air conditioning companies are inundated with emergencies later in the year.  Nothing worse that not having cool air when the temperature soars to 105 degrees.
