Is your home Honey Do list longer than ever? It’s not uncommon for home improvement projects to accumulate until it’s the middle of summer, and you’re overwhelmed with tasks with no way to get them all done before fall and winter return.
When it comes to your home’s systems, DIY solutions can sound quick and easy, but the Worley’s team has seen our fair share of do-it-yourself projects gone wrong, and we know first-hand that homeowners often have to pay extra to fix their well-intentioned but unsuccessful DIY home repairs.

It can get frustrating fast when your air conditioner isn’t cooling your home the way it should. Most of the time, it’s not advisable to tinker around with your AC, but there are a few things you can do to find out if you really need to call in the professionals! First:
Check Your Thermostat
It may sound silly, but these systems can easily be adjusted by accident, especially if you have kids or pets at home. Make sure your thermostat is set to your preferred temperature. For optimal summertime performance, set it to cooling mode as well.
Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clean
Any time the seasons change or we get a severe weather event, it’s smart to check your outdoor units and clear away leaves, branches, and anything else that might’ve accumulated and could interfere with optimal operation of your cooling or heating systems.
Listen for Weird Noises
You know your cooling system better than anyone, so if you’ve noticed a recent change in the operating sounds of your AC, or even a distinct or loud change, it’d be best to turn off your system ASAP, and call Worley’s for fast service to make sure everything’s working properly.
