You’ve heard about energy-efficient appliances such as washers and dryers, but how much thought do you give to energy-efficient air conditioning systems? You can maximize your Helendale, California, air conditioner’s operating capacity to make it more efficient. Learn how selecting the right system size and scheduling regular maintenance can boost your air conditioner’s efficiency.
System Size
Size matters when it comes to your home’s air conditioning system. If the system is too small, it will struggle to maintain the temperature you want inside your home. On the other hand, a system that’s too large will short cycle constantly in its efforts to cool your home. As a result, your system will experience decreased energy efficiency and contribute to increased utility costs. A system that’s sized according to your home’s cooling load requirements will be significantly more energy-efficient.
Proper Maintenance
To keep your vehicle operating reliably each time you get behind the wheel, you schedule regular maintenance appointments. Your air conditioning system also needs regular maintenance to keep it operational. Problems that go undetected or ignored can seriously impact your system’s functioning and its overall energy-efficiency. Schedule a maintenance appointment with an HVAC professional to make sure your system is working as it should.
Air Conditioning Usage Habits
Californians depend on their air conditioners to keep them cool during the summer. But if you or members of your household are not paying attention to how you treat your system, you could be negatively impacting its energy efficiency. For example, setting your thermostat to 65 degrees Fahrenheit when you and your family are out of the house will cause your system to cool an unoccupied home. Being conscious about your air conditioning usage habits can help you improve your system’s operating capacity.
If you take care of your system, you’ll improve its overall energy efficiency. For professional and prompt service for your home’s air conditioning system, contact our Clemmer Services Heating & Air Conditioning professionals today at 760-208-4930.
