The cost of running an air conditioning system for a large portion of the year can really add up. And setting the thermostat inefficiently certainly doesn’t help to keep that spending under control. If you have a programmable thermostat, it’s easy to keep costs to a minimum, as long as you know how to use it.
Most people have heard before that an important part of AC maintenance is cleaning or replacing the air filter. But did you know that cleaning the coils of your air conditioner or heat pump is just as important a task? While you may not need to do it so often, the coils that are part of the outside portion of your system can collect dust and dirt rather easily due to their exposure to the elements.
Any HVAC technician will encourage you to change the filter in your heating and air conditioning systems each and every month. But just as important as cleaning or changing the filter is schedule maintenance with a trained professional.
The air filter in your air conditioning system is fairly easy to change. Usually, the filter is located behind a return grille in a central location in the home. In some cases, you need to look on the blower unit itself.
The larger systems in your home—like your air conditioner and heater—require a high level of expertise to service and install, which is why you trust professionals to take care of them for you. But what if your air conditioning technician doesn’t seem to be selling you the services you need?
Are you ready to replace your aging air conditioning system? Not all new units are built alike. We’ve got a suggestion for you that could save hundreds of dollars on your energy bills each year: a variable speed or two-speed heat pump.
It’s difficult to save money on a new air conditioning system. Many companies offer specials throughout the year that may help you save. But if you choose a low budget system with poor efficiency ratings, you will end up spending more later on.
The humidity can make the heat of summer feel even hotter, and we get a lot of it in our area. High levels of moisture in the air contribute to your discomfort because sweat does not evaporate from the skin as easily with water vapor all around you, and this is your body’s usual method of cooling down.
When an air conditioning system stops working, many homeowners are most fearful of the possibility of a total system failure. When a technician tells you that your air conditioner needs to be replaced, you may not want to believe it.
