Tips for Increasing the Effectiveness of Your Home Air Conditioner

An effective air conditioning system cools your home without costing you a fortune. Fortunately, homeowners can take numerous steps to ease their cooling energy needs. Employ the following tips to increase the overall efficiency of your air conditioner:

• Minimize Use: The best way to improve the effectiveness of your air conditioner is to minimize its use. A programmable thermostat, for example, ensures that your air conditioner is only in use when family members are home to enjoy it. Homeowners can also close vents in rooms that don’t require cooling in order to ensure that the unit doesn’t work harder than it needs to.
   
• Employ Fans: Ceiling and plug-in fans allow you to run your AC at a higher temperature. This reduced demand on the unit has many benefits, including lowering the chances of your air conditioner overheating during the summer months and providing significant electricity savings.
   
• Clean Air Filters: Homeowners should make a habit of changing their HVAC filters regularly. Some filters require a switch every three months, while others demand monthly attention. Failing to perform this task will decrease the effectiveness of your AC unit by a huge margin. Incorporate filter changes into your home upkeep schedule to guarantee that the chore is completed regularly.
   
• Schedule Regular Inspections: Professional inspections and cleanings help home AC units run at top efficiency. Tasks like cleaning coils and recharging refrigerant should only be addressed by a certified technician. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy reports that these checks can improve unit efficiency by up to 20%.
