The Two Biggest Ways to Increase Efficiency and Life of AC
If you want to make the biggest difference in your AC’s performance and longevity, start with these two steps:
Set the thermostat a few degrees warmer. Yep, we know, the whole point of AC is to keep the house cool, right? Why would you set it any warmer? Well, the reality is that many people keep their home pretty cold — and that’s often not necessary for comfort, even in the peak of summer. And setting your thermostat even a little warmer will dramatically reduce the amount of work your air conditioning system has to do. Think about whether you could go 5 degrees higher than your current AC setting, and adjust from there.
Perform maintenance on your air conditioner twice a year. AC maintenance is recommended once a year nationwide, and twice a year in very hot areas like Florida. For central AC, maintenance includes thoroughly cleaning the inside elements of the unit, inspecting all parts of the air conditioning system, and a tune-up for anything that’s not running at maximum efficiency. This should be a service we can get done for you — we offer affordable, flat-rate AC service and maintenance calls, as well as twice-yearly maintenance plans. Call Premier Service & Repair today
