Waster Management is now providing residents a free waste recycling program. Please read the instructions posted on the recycling bins carefully as certain items are NOT recyclable such as food, plastic bags, clothing, foam cups and yard waster.

 

Owners and Residents Preventative Maintenance recommends having air-conditioning units/ air handlers and drainage pipes for the air-conditioning unit serviced twice (2x) a year. APS has a Home Energy Survey they will perform for $99.00 and then APS provides 3 screened contractors. Before you select any air conditioning service company please research them with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Check to see if the company is active and has the appropriate license for the service they will be performing.

• Have a licensed air conditioning company service your air condition.
• Have the condenser coils acid washed at least every other year, it helps your air conditioner run more efficiently and replacing the coil is expensive.
• Have them blow out the drain line going outside and inside. If you live in a two-bedroom condo unit look under the sink of bathroom, as the condensation drains there if the pipe becomes clogged.
• Change your furnace filter frequently (when the dust increases spring through fall it is recommended every 6 to 10 weeks).
• Don’t block or close your air vents (keep furniture at a distance) and clean the vents monthly, this helps prevent debris, dust from blocking and/or blowing.  

The association has used two companies: REEis AZ Air Conditioning 480-969-7500 and Efficiency Mechanical II 480-497-5178. They both have a Basic and Preferred Maintenance (2 visits Spring/Fall) plan.
