Did you know that air conditioners in most homes use up about 6% of the nation’s electricity each year, costing homeowners billions? There are simple ways to keep your AC running smoothly and help lower those bills. Try planting trees or shrubs to shade your home and block sunlight, use blinds or curtains during peak sun hours, and set your thermostat 5 degrees higher to reduce daily run time. Use fans to keep air moving and cool your rooms without overworking your AC. Limit using your stove and oven during hot spells to keep extra heat out of your home. Most importantly, stay on top of regular maintenance and ac repair to prevent breakdowns and keep your system efficient. For more tips and to schedule your next service, visit our website today.
