How we use our home air conditioning systems can significantly affect their performance and energy consumption. To prolong the lifespan of your AC and avoid high energy consumption, follow these tips:
Set Reasonable Temperature Settings
Avoid overcooling – try to keep the indoor temperature about 5-7°F below the peak outdoor temperature. Adjust the temperature only in 1-2 degree increments and allow the system to stabilize before making further changes.
Change The Air Filters Frequently
Dirty filters reduce airflow, and efficiency, and eventually wear out the system. Mark your calendar to change the filters according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, usually every 30-90 days, depending on usage. Keep spare filters on hand to ensure that you never use your air conditioner with dirty filters.
Use Timers and Smart Features
Programmable thermostats with timers and intelligent climate control functions help you adapt your cooling mode to your home activity for maximum efficiency. Use weekend/weekday settings and integrate with smartphone apps and sensors.
By following these tips, users can optimize air conditioner performance, minimize energy consumption, and extend the life of their air conditioner. Preventive maintenance is key to ensuring comfort and reliability throughout the season.
