Replace Filters Regularly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your AC filter acts as the frontline defender against dust, dirt, and allergens. This makes them one of the most important components of the unit. However, with time, these filters can become clogged and start restricting airflow and forcing your system to work overtime.<\/p>\n<p>So, one of the most essential AC maintenance tips is to replace AC filters regularly, typically every 1\u20133 months, depending on your usage. This way, you will not only improve air quality but also boost efficiency and extend the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/what-is-the-average-life-of-an-hvac-system\/\">average life of an HVAC system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Ensure_Proper_Airflow\"><\/span>2. Ensure Proper Airflow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To understand the importance of proper airflow, just imagine breathing through a straw \u2013 not pleasant, right? The same goes for your AC. It is important that your vents and registers remain free from obstructions like furniture or curtains, allowing cool air to circulate freely.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Keep_the_Area_Around_the_Outdoor_Unit_Clear\"><\/span>3. Keep the Area Around the Outdoor Unit Clear<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your outdoor AC unit deserves some attention and proper breathing space! Make sure there are at least two feet of clearance around the unit to allow for proper airflow. Cut down any bushes or shrubs and remove any clutter or debris that could hinder its performance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Buy_a_Programmable_Thermostat\"><\/span>4. Buy a Programmable Thermostat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When talking about the best AC maintenance tips to save energy and money, it&#8217;s important to buy a programmable thermostat if you haven&#8217;t already. Buying a new device might sound contradictory to what we are discussing, but it has numerous benefits.<\/p>\n<p>With a programmable thermostat, you can control your cooling schedule with precision. Set it to adjust the temperature based on your daily routine so you are not wasting energy cooling an empty house. This small change can lead to significant savings on your utility bills without sacrificing comfort.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ac-maintenance-tips-to-save-money-and-energy-2-300x159.jpg\" alt=\"Top Five Simple and Effective AC Maintenance Tips to Save Money and Energy\" width=\"300\" height=\"159\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-13516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ac-maintenance-tips-to-save-money-and-energy-2-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ac-maintenance-tips-to-save-money-and-energy-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Ensure_Proper_Insulation\"><\/span>5. Ensure Proper Insulation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to AC maintenance tips, we cannot miss talking about the ductwork. It&#8217;s important not to allow your precious cool air to escape through leaky ducts. Take the time to insulate ductwork in unconditioned spaces like attics or crawlspaces to prevent energy waste.<\/p>\n<p>Proper insulation not only improves efficiency but also helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home, keeping you comfortable year-round.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Galmiche_Sons_to_Learn_More_About_AC_Maintenance_Tips_or_Schedule_HVAC_Maintenance_in_St_Louis\"><\/span>Contact Galmiche &amp; Sons to Learn More About AC Maintenance Tips or Schedule HVAC Maintenance in St. Louis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the help of the above-mentioned AC maintenance tips, you can not only keep your cooling system running smoothly but also save money and energy in the process.<\/p>\n<p>If you want more tips or need any professional assistance with your HVAC system, we at Galmiche &amp; Sons are here to help!
