Can I improve AC efficiency? It may be your inefficient air conditioner. With rising energy expenses, it pays to enhance your unit's efficiency. While replacing an outdated unit may be the quickest answer, there are free or low-cost ways to improve a cooling system's efficiency.
Our focus is on ways you can use your Tempe AC maintenance experts to improve AC efficiency.
Upgrade Your Thermostat
Have a smart thermostat? If not, it's probably time to upgrade. A smartphone app can control a smart thermostat's settings.
It is simple for Tempe AC Maintenance to fit a new thermostat so you can then change settings remotely. Plus, intelligent thermostats control heating and cooling even when you're not home. The processors use sophisticated algorithms to regulate your home's temperature.
Turn Up Home Temps When Away from Home
Most homeowners feel that leaving their AC on saves money. The AC will have to work less to bring the temperature down.
When your AC system works for a more extended amount of time, it reaches peak efficiency. Turning on and off the temperature while you are away will cost more than simply returning home.
Set Thermostat Correctly
The positioning of your thermostat affects the AC function. Placing it near a sunny window, for example, will overwork your AC because the thermostat will send out incorrect temperature readings.
Place your thermostat away from heat-producing appliances. Lamps, heaters, and computers are examples. The increased warmth confuses your thermostat, working lengthier AC cycles.
If you have a smart thermostat, make sure nothing is blocking the connection. Sensor blockers include bookshelves, cabinets, and heavy doors.
Check Air Filters
Make sure your air filters are clean. Air-filled filters stifle airflow. Depending on how dirty your filters are, you may need to clean or replace them. Tempe AC Maintenance can clean or replace these regularly.
Use Fans
A fan can significantly help cooling costs when you use them with your AC. There is no need to adjust the thermostat, resulting in lower energy consumption.
