When the Nebraska heat starts climbing, your air conditioning system becomes your home’s most valuable player. At Harley’s Heating & Air, we understand that maintaining your cooling system properly isn’t just about comfort—it’s about saving money and ensuring reliability when you need it most.

Smart Maintenance Steps for Homeowners

Before calling for professional service, here are some basic maintenance tasks you can perform:

• Clear debris from outdoor units
• Check and clean air vents throughout your home
