AC Tips for Extreme Heat | Oklahoma City News

When the heat hits, your AC needs smart care—not brute force. Experts say blasting the thermostat to 55 is a myth; 75-78 is the sweet spot. Don’t turn it off or just crank it up when you leave—constant temps beat overheating. Closing vents? Nope, that backfires by stressing your system. Instead, swap filters every 1-3 months, clean your outdoor unit (gently hose it at an angle), and keep windows shut with blinds down. Limit oven use, swap in air fryers or grills, and keep ceiling fans spinning. And if your AC sputters? Call a pro fast—don’t wait.
