AC Tips
Check your filters once per month.
Dusty air filters will reduce the efficiency of your air conditioning unit.
Install window tint or curtains.
Blocking out the light is a great way to reduce your cooling bill and take the stress off your AC unit.
Avoid placing large objects and plants directly in front of your outdoor unit.
Restricting the air flow of your outdoor unit will work the AC harder and increase energy consumption.
Use LED bulbs in air conditioned rooms.
LED bulbs emit 80% less heat than traditional bulbs and will drastically reduce the heat needed to be removed by your air conditioner.
Close windows and doors while your unit is in cooling mode.
Using your unit while windows and doors are open will cause the AC to work harder and increase energy consumption.
Have the AC professionally serviced.
Getting your AC serviced every 3 to 6 months will increase the longevity of your air conditioning unit.
