As temperatures rise, air conditioning units will begin working overtime to keep homes cool. While a spike in monthly utility bills is common with additional usage, HVAC contractors are quick to remind customers to find low-cost ways to enhance efficiency. Here are a few simple tips to boost energy efficiency in your home. 

4 Ways to Enhance Air Conditioning Unit Efficiency

1. Change Air Filters

Dirty air filters clogged with dust and debris negatively impact the air quality in your home. In addition, your air conditioning unit will have to work even harder to pump temperature-controlled air into each room. Changing your air filters can quickly enhance efficiency and give your system a much-needed break.  

2. Program Your Thermostat

Smart, programmable thermostats allow you to manage indoor temperatures throughout the day and from afar. Take advantage of new technologies and program your thermostat based on when you’re home and the time of day. By using this feature, you’ll improve efficiency and reduce your utility bills without sacrificing comfort. 

3. Manage Sun Exposure & Insulation

Help your system by checking insulation, window, and door drafts. During the hottest hours of the day, close curtains and screen doors, so your HVAC system has the opportunity to work without fighting outdoor exposure. 

4. Clean Vents & Air Ducts

Most importantly, schedule a heating and air inspection with your HVAC contractor. By evaluating your system as a whole, a professional technician can catch minor leaks and issues that are negatively impacting your efficiency. Plus, they can clean air ducts and vents to ensure airflow is uninhibited.
