LOCAL HANDYMAN TIP OF THE DAY 💨☀️ If your AC seems like it’s working harder than it should, don’t call for repairs just yet. Check your HVAC filter first! A dirty filter restricts airflow, makes your system work overtime, can increase your energy bill, and may leave your home feeling warmer than it should.
