When the days get hotter, your air conditioning unit works very hard to help you maintain optimum performance and comfort. With that in mind, James Lane Air Conditioning and Plumbing of Wichita Falls, Texas is pleased to offer you several helpful tips to lower utility bills, save energy, and maximize the efficiency of your home or business’s air conditioning equipment.
Schedule An Appointment
First off – if you haven’t already done so – schedule an appointment with James Lane Air Conditioning and Plumbing to visit your home or business and clean and tune your system. They will ensure that various system parts have sufficient lubrication, and will make necessary adjustments to enhance the system’s efficiency. If there are any minor problems that need attention, they will advise you and suggest if and when you should take appropriate action.
Replace Your Filter
One of the easiest and most cost effective steps you can take inspecting, cleaning and (if necessary) replacing the unit’s filter. This will increase the air conditioner system’s ability to provide consistent comfort. Filters should be cleaned or replaced regularly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions (usually once every 30 or 60 days). Failure to do this enables dirt and debris to clog the filter and hinder or block air flow. The air may also carry unwanted debris, which hinders the evaporator coil’s ability to absorb heat.
Update Your Interior
You can definitely save wear and tear on your air conditioning system by taking some key steps on the interior of your location. For example, you should install or close existing curtains, solar shades or blinds on the windows — particularly on the southern and western sides of the location. As a result, your system will avoid working harder than necessary.
Ensure Exterior Efficiency
On the exterior of the residence or business, your air conditioning unit should be positioned in a properly shaded spot so it can run more efficiently. If possible, be sure that any new central air conditioner is installed on the northern side of your building. New central air conditioners should be installed away from the dryer vent and on the north side of your home.
