Today, we’ll go over how to get the most use out of your home air conditioner.
Keeping your house at the right temperature throughout the year requires you to have a strong and reliable air conditioner. You want your HVAC unit to stay strong for as long as possible. Not only does this keep your house more comfortable, but it also ensures that you get the most value out of your unit. Today, we’ll go over how to get the most use out of your home air conditioner.
Use Vent Covers and Filters
When your air vents get dirty, your air conditioner needs to work harder to regulate the temperature and air quality of your home. That’s why it’s a good idea to invest in vent covers and air filters. By using these resources, your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard to keep your air clean, and at the proper temperature. The less strain you put on your air conditioner, the longer it should last you.
Don’t Use Ambient Heat
Your air conditioner has to work harder to cool your house if the indoor temperature is already warm. Therefore, if you have ambient heat in your home (fireplaces, space heaters), you should refrain from using them whenever possible. The less heat your home has, the less effort your air conditioner must use to keep your house cool.
Make Sure Your Air Conditioner is Serviced Regularly
To increase the longevity of your HVAC unit, you’ll want to get regular maintenance done on it. This means you’ll want an HVAC contractor to inspect your HVAC system for potential signs of damage at least one time per year. If problems can be detected early, it’s easier to get those problems resolved, which helps your HVAC system last longer.
Give Your Home More Ventilation
The less your air conditioner has to work, the longer it should last. To reduce the strain on your HVAC system, you want to give your home extra ventilation. Try opening up windows on pleasant days, or run some fans in the different rooms of your house. When you have this extra ventilation, your HVAC unit won’t have to work very hard to keep your house comfortable.
