Summer, summer time!
📣❗️Air Conditioning startup checklist ❗️📣
When the spring and summer roll in, it can get hot. That means you'll likely be switching from heat to air conditioning.
To make sure your unit keeps you cool during the hot season, practice the tips listed below and be sure to call True Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning for all of your needs!
1) Ensure Your Filter Is Clean
It's important to change these out often.
2) Keep Your Thermostat Away From Heat
Your thermostat is very sensitive to the temperature of your room. It has to be in order to make sure it's keeping things at the temperature you want.
3) Make Sure Your House Is Insulated
Poor insulation is an electricity bill conscious homeowner's nightmare. With poor insulation, your room won't be able to hold in the cold air that's getting pumped into it. This will make your AC work overtime trying to compensate by pushing in more cold air.
4) Get a Ceiling Fan Assist
Ceiling fans can act as a wonderful compliment to your AC unit. Typically, fans run in a clockwise motion to lift heat upwards and out of your living space.
5) Set It and Forget It
It can be tempting to constantly fiddle with a thermostat. A small adjustment though can mean big money at the end of the month.
For every degree you move your thermostat under 78 degrees, energy use is boosted by 8%. If your bill is $100.00 at 78 degrees, it's $108.00 at 77.
Go a few degrees lower, and you're looking at a significant cooling costs hike.
