Cleaning and replacing your filters each month will help to maintain your air conditioning unit. HVAC maintenance also includes annual maintenance from a professional service to ensure your air conditioning unit’s equipment is up to par and is not leaking or causing an over usage of energy in your home. If you are not sure how to install and replace the filters in your air conditioner, you can refer to the user manual of your unit or call us in to assist you with the installation and replacement of the new filters your unit requires.

Before working with any professional service for your HVAC maintenance or even repairs, make a list of all of the concerns you have with your unit, including any questions regarding the air conditioners filters, output of energy, or even the programmed thermostat you are using to work the unit. Asking questions will allow you to get the answers you need when you are working with a certified professional.

To help yourself it is important to ensure your home is thoroughly insulated, including your loft space. Close off cracks under doors and within doorframes to help keep the air warm or cool air in your home, this will require less usage and use less electricity. You should also consider keeping your air conditioner set at one temperature as much as possible to reduce fluctuations in your electricity bills.

Set your home’s thermostat to an overall higher temperature when you are not at home or off at work for the day to save on energy use when you do not need the air conditioning. Also, opt for a programmable thermostat when you are trying to save money on your electric bill, as it will be a more accurate way to track your home’s temperature and the amount of energy you are using regularly.

Consider turning off your unit when the weather conditions permit. You can also save on energy usage by closing off specific ducts in your home to concentrate the air conditioning into specific locations. This will allow you to cool other rooms quicker, needing less air conditioning or allowing you to keep the air conditioner set a bit higher without feeling too hot or uncomfortable.
