5 Tips for Lowering Your Cooling Costs
When the full heat of the summer sets in, you will surely feel the burn in regards to your electric bill. Your average power bill can triple in the summer months when compared to the cooler months of the year. There are a few inexpensive ways you can make your current central air conditioning system more energy efficient. When added together, these tips can help you save a significant amount of money each year.
- Get your air conditioning unit a tune-up. If you are a responsible car owner, you likely take your car in for routine oil changes and yearly tune-ups. Your air conditioner requires similar yearly maintenance. In most areas, a basic inspection of your central air conditioning system will cost less than $100.00. The amount of money this can save you in energy will vary and depend on what problems are found, however the savings on repairs can be substantial. What could be a minor quick fix this year could be a thousand dollar or more repair next year. Regular tune-ups on your air conditioning problem can prevent problems before they start, as most central air conditioning system repairs are preventable.
- Change or clean air filters on your central heating and air conditioning system. If you read the owner’s manual for your central heat and air conditioning system you will find detailed directions on how to change or clean your air filters. Air filters collect debris and dust from the air that could otherwise damage your system. These particles build up on the filter, preventing proper airflow. If the filter prevents airflow through the system, it can cause significant damage and costly repairs. Dirty filters make your heating and air conditioning system work extra hard to push air through the filter, which increases your electric consumption by a substantial amount.
- Insulate your home. Older homes especially tend to have less energy efficient windows and doors. Even if your home is new, settling of the foundation can cause gaps around doors. Have your windows and doors checked for any areas that are letting cold air out or warm air in. Depending on the scope of the work required, this could be something you can tackle alone or you may need the help of a professional.
- Adjust the sensitivity level of your thermostat. Most electric thermostats are set with a sensitivity of 2 degrees. Adjusting this setting will lower the amount of times your air conditioner turns on and off. The savings to your electric bill will not be significant at first, but over the course of a year can add up.
- Invest in heavy curtains to block out sunlight when you are not at home. While you may enjoy the natural light the sun provides during the day, windows that get direct sunlight also allow heating of the air. Investing in curtains that can be closed when you are away will help prevent the temperature in your home from rising.
