How to Save Money on Air Conditioning in Malibu

- Get at least three written estimates and compare scope of work and warranties
- Change your air filter every 1-3 months to reduce strain on the system
- Ask about manufacturer rebates and utility company incentives for new installations
- Consider a maintenance contract for annual tune-ups at a discounted rate
