🌳 Weatherization Tip Wednesday!

Trim shrubs and trees around your outdoor AC unit!

Give your unit at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides.
Overgrown greenery blocks airflow, forces your system to work harder, and can drive up your energy bill.

A quick trim now = better efficiency and lower costs all season long. 💨
