How to Help Your Air Conditioner Run More Efficiently

July 10, 2015

Air conditioners are possibly the most critical asset of a home during warmer months. They provide comfort when the heat in Edmonton is at its hottest and helps keep your environment just as you like it. So how can you help your air conditioner run better?

The answer is first and foremost professional air conditioner service that includes a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. And while we certainly wouldn’t argue the value of professional quality air conditioner service, there are a number of things you can take a look at yourself.

At Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, we think it makes sense that you want to save money on your monthly heating and cooling costs, which is why we put together this list for you to consider:

  • Swap your home’s air filter. It’s probably the most referenced homeowner task from heating and cooling companies, but it really does make a huge difference. Dirty air filters block air flow and make it a challenge for your air conditioner to do its job – which means your comfort isn’t its best.
  • Seal your home’s ducts. According to the folks at ENERGY STAR, many homes can lose between 20 and 30 percent of the air that passes through them due to duct leaks and other duct issues.
  • Open your vents. It’s a very common mistake among homeowners, but keeping rooms shut and vents shut in seldom used rooms doesn’t always mean you save money. Keeping all of your vents open helps the system perform its job because airflow isn’t being inhibited.
  • Air conditioner service. Pros recommend that you schedule up air conditioner service with Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. Any time you have air conditioner headaches and your comfort is being sacrificed, call in the experts.

If you’ve checked all of these tips and you’re still running in to issues with your home’s heating and cooling system, it’s more than likely time for air conditioner service.
