As temperatures nearing 100 degrees start to look like the new normal, staying cool and keeping family members and pets comfortable has become a priority for St. Louisans. Improving air conditioner performance for optimal comfort is important. But you should know that heat waves can strain your AC and impact its performance. How, then, do you stay cool in the midst of extreme heat waves?<\/p>\n<p>This article has the answers, which are sure to interest you as summer approaches. An immediate action you can take is to have your AC cleaned and inspected by our technician so it doesn&#8217;t have to work as hard to keep you cool as temperatures potentially cross record levels.<\/p>\n<p>To schedule your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/summer-ac-tune-up\/\">summer AC tune-up<\/a> or learn more about what you can do to improve AC efficiency and performance, call our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating and air conditioning<\/a> experts at <span class=\"mobile_tel\"><span class=\"mobile_tel\">314-993-1110<\/span><\/span> today.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_to_Air_Conditioner_Performance_During_a_Heat_Wave\"><\/span>What Happens to Air Conditioner Performance During a Heat Wave?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We no stranger to warm summer days in St. Louis, which are only getting warmer due to a change in average weather patterns and the urban heat island effect created by the city&#8217;s concrete, metal, and asphalt infrastructure. In the summer months, St. Louis can be up to 10 degrees warmer than its surrounding areas. Your AC inevitably bears the brunt of the intense heat. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/insulation-and-cooling-efficiency\/\">Cooling efficiency<\/a> reduces as your AC struggles to maintain the desired outdoor temperature.<\/li>\n<li>Residential ACs have a rated BTU capacity that typically allows them to cool a house by about 20 degrees Fahrenheit below the outdoor temperature. If the outside temperature exceeds 100 degrees, your AC will not be able to reduce indoor temperatures below 80 degrees.<\/li>\n<li>Lowering the thermostat won&#8217;t make your home cooler; it will only make your AC run longer, potentially causing wear and tear on critical components like the compressor and affecting air conditioner performance. Heat waves can result in longer AC running cycles, making your AC unit run non-stop and increasing wear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the facts out of the way, let&#8217;s understand what you can do to help your AC&#8217;s efficiency and performance during the summer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/impact-of-heat-waves-on-air-conditioner-performance-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Contact Galmiche &amp; Sons to Improve Air Conditioner Performance\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-13997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/impact-of-heat-waves-on-air-conditioner-performance-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/impact-of-heat-waves-on-air-conditioner-performance-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_the_Most_Out_of_Your_Air_Conditioner_During_a_St_Louis_Heat_Wave\"><\/span>Getting the Most Out of Your Air Conditioner During a St. Louis Heat Wave<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Scheduling air conditioner maintenance during spring will help your AC (and you) in the summer months.
