It is a big investment to buy a new air conditioner for your home. So, it makes sense to ensure you are improving the performance of the air conditioner to benefit your home. For the most part, your air conditioner works without requiring much of your time or attention, but Cool Air Solutions has a couple tips that will help you get the most out of your air conditioner.
- Choose the Right System
There are a variety of options for air conditioners, which means you have the freedom to find one that meets your unique needs. While all air conditioners serve the purpose of offering cooler air, there are different sizes available to fit the size of your home. Cool Air Solutions can help identify the perfect match by looking at your square footage, the insulation value of your windows, the amount of insulation in your walls and roof and a couple other factors.
- Use a Programmable Thermostat or Comfort Controls
Make it simpler on yourself by installing a programmable thermostat or comfort control. Technology is transforming the way homeowners maintain their comfort. For a simpler option, a programmable thermostat means you can arrange a temperature schedule for the week. You won’t have to think about turning up the temperature before you’re gone all day. More innovative options for comfort control give you remote access, making it easy to adjust the temperature from any location using your phone, tablet or laptop. Comfort controls such as the iComfort Wi-Fi® even monitor your air conditioner and perform advanced diagnostics to alert you to service needs.
- Help Your Air Conditioner Out
There’s no need to make your air conditioner run harder than necessary. During the day, typically when it’s sunny, close the blinds and windows to keep warmer air and the heat from raising the indoor temperature. On cooler nights, open up the windows and give your air conditioner a rest.
If there are unoccupied rooms, close the vents and doors. This allows the cool air to travel to rooms that are more frequently used. Not only does this diminish extra work from your air conditioner, but it also decreases unnecessary costs on your energy bills.
- Don’t Forget About Maintenance
Most people getting a new vehicle follow the recommendations for oil changes and routine maintenance. An air conditioner is an investment as well and requires regular monitoring to make sure it is working efficiently. Now is a great time to schedule an appointment for a professional in Murrieta to come check out your air conditioner before the warmer weather hits.
Follow these tips and you’ll see the benefit in the performance of your air conditioner and the savings on your energy bill. Contact Cool Air Solutions in Murrieta with any questions by calling 951-299-9853.
