Tips for Keeping Your AC Efficient

During the summer months, many homeowners notice their energy bills increasing as their air conditioning use increases. This can be a normal fluctuation, but homeowners should be concerned with keeping their bills as low as possible and ensuring the efficiency of their AC system in Frisco.

As you can see in the video, keeping your air conditioner running efficiently does not require much. Have your AC unit maintained and cleaned at least once a year. Without regular maintenance, a unit’s efficiency can drop as much as 5% every year. Change your air filters regularly. During the summer months, it is best to change filters every month or so. Consider installing a new, programmable thermostat. Keep your blinds and windows closed against the heat of the sun, and refrain from using the oven or stove during the hottest parts of the day. This will help your air conditioner run more efficiently.
