How to Use the Central Air System Efficiently
Relying on your central air system during the heat of summer is sure to help you stay cool when the weather starts getting too hot to bear. It’s ideal to know the most efficient way to use your AC system to help deliver cooler temperatures at a more cost effective rate.
Schedule a Tune-up
One of the best things you can do for your unit is to have it maintained each year. This will help it run more efficiently and will cut down your energy costs in the process.
There is a variety of things that will be completed when you get your unit tuned-up. Some of these will include checking the motor and fan to ensure these are in good working order. Cleaning the debris from the outside unit and checking the condenser bin, just to name a few things.
Change the Filter
You’ve probably heard it over and over that a clogged air filter can end up costing you money. This is because it may take longer for your home to cool and will cause your unit to run too much in the process.
By having a new air filter in your unit, this can also help your home get cooler faster. It’s a good idea to change these at least every three months.
Get the Right Sized Unit
Be sure you purchase a unit that will help your home stay as cool as it should be. If you have a two story home, you may need two units.
Be sure to discuss this with your HVAC professional before making a final decision.
