As the weather starts to heat up, you’ll will be turning on their air conditioners to cool down. However, running an AC can be expensive, especially if it’s not used correctly.
In this blog post, we’ll give you tips on saving money on your cooling system. So for all the tips and tricks on taking care of your air conditioning in Celco, keep reading!
Check your air filters regularly and replace them when they’re dirty
Filters are designed to help your unit operate at its best efficiency, but, like anything else in life, they get dirty sometimes too! Don’t let that stop you from taking care of them.
Check for any cracks or holes on a regular basis and replace them when necessary, so their performance doesn’t suffer. These things can really affect how well everything works together inside your AC, including airflow rate, which means higher utility bills overall.
Make sure your home is well insulated
This will help keep the cool air in and the hot air out. There are many ways to insulate your home, but some are more effective than others. For example, weather stripping around doors and windows can help seal in the cool air. Adding insulation to your attic or walls can also help keep the heat out.
Close off any rooms you’re not using to reduce the amount of cooling needed
We all have rooms in our homes that are rarely used. If these rooms are kept closed off, it will reduce the amount of space you need to cool and thus save money on your cooling bill. When you’re not using a room, be sure to turn off the AC so that it stays nice and cool for when you return. Also, set your thermostat to a comfortable temperature. While it may be tempting to turn the AC down really low to save money on your cooling bill, this can actually cost you more in the long run. Instead, find a comfortable temperature that works for your home and keep it there year-round.
Raise the temperature on your thermostat a few degrees during the summer months
As we mentioned before, setting your thermostat to a lower temperature won’t necessarily save you money. In fact, raising the temperature a few degrees can actually help you save on your cooling bill. This is because your AC won’t have to work as hard to cool down your home and thus use less energy.
Install a programmable thermostat so you can save energy while you’re asleep or away from home
A programmable thermostat can be a great way to save money on your cooling bill. You can set it to turn off when you’re asleep or away from home and then turn it back on a few minutes before you return. This way, you won’t waste any energy cooling down an empty house.
Remember to schedule regular professional maintenance for your AC unit
Just like your car, your AC unit needs regular maintenance to function properly.
Be sure to schedule a tune-up for your unit at least once a year. This will help ensure that your unit is running efficiently and can help prevent costly repairs down the road.
