Cooling Season Tips |
SPRING/SUMMER SEASONAL TIPS
-Have your Air Conditioning system tuned-up for the season.
-Replace your air-conditioning filter every 30 days to maximize its operating efficiency.
-If you disconnected the power to your central air conditioning system in the winter, wait 24-hours after turning power back on to the system to run it.
-Keep the thermostat constant.
-Flip the fan switch on your thermostat into the "fan on" mode when cooling the house.
-Set air vents on the second floor to receive approximately 75 percent of the conditioned air.
-Keep the shades and curtains drawn to reduce the radiant heat of the sun.
-Install awnings or plant trees that will shade southern facing windows. This keeps the hottest rays of the sun from shining directly into the house.
-Replace older windows with more efficient low-E glass. These windows help to reduce the effect of the suns warming rays. Also, keep storm windows closed.
-Install an attic fan to help ventilate some of the hot air out of the attic.
-Run a dehumidifier in the basement if the basement is humid.
-Clear or cut back shrubs and bushes from the outdoor unit.
-Keep fallen leaves, grass clippings, foliage and other dirt and debris away from your outdoor unit. (And keep the a/c coils clean).
-Shade your air-conditioner.
-Don't block vents or ducts inside the house to assure air flow in the home.
-Caulk and install weather stripping around windows and doors (especially the attic) to close air gaps.
-Avoid using the oven during the day. Run the dishwasher, washing machine and dryer in the evening, when electricity rates may be lower and heat from those appliances won't increase a/c demands.
-Turn off lamps, TV and other appliances when not in use.
-Consider use of a programmable thermostat to automatically increase or decrease temperatures during day and night to suit a family's lifestyle and reduce energy cost.
-Use shades, blinds or curtains to keep sunlight out of the house.
-Keep windows and doors closed when the a/c is on.
-Turn air conditioners off if you are going to be gone more than four hours.
-Circulate air inside your house with fans.
