In recognition of this, here are a couple of ways that you can ensure that your air conditioner is running at peak efficiency during the summer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/air-conditioner-efficiency-checklist-savings-2.jpg\" alt=\"Air Conditioner Efficiency Checklist\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3909\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Install a programmable thermostat<\/strong>: One of the easiest ways of ensuring air conditioner efficiency is by having a programmable thermostat installed. The thermostat controls the system automatically depending on your settings. With a WiFi enabled one, you can even change the settings from your phone regardless of where you are.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use ceiling fans<\/strong>: If you haven&#8217;t already, consider having ceiling fans installed in commonly used rooms. During the summer, ceiling fans can help maximize on your air conditioner efficiency. They keep the indoor air moving meaning that you can set the thermostat a bit higher. As the air conditioner will not have to work as hard, you will end up saving in spent energy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use shades on the windows<\/strong>: Large windows may give you a great view as well as great lighting. However, they are not great for your air conditioner&rsquo;s efficiency. The sunshine through the windows contributes greatly to heating up indoor air. You can use shades, curtains, or blinds on the windows to control the solar radiation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/heating-and-air-conditioner-maintenance.html\">air conditioner maintenance<\/a><\/strong>: Regular AC maintenance ensures that the unit is in great working condition. This translates to higher air conditioner efficiency. It is recommended that you have annual maintenance checks by an HVAC specialist. You should also clean or replace the filters regularly to ensure your utility bills remain low even during the summer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turn the thermostat up when you are away<\/strong>: While your family is out of the house, it makes sense to not cool it as if you were there. Turn up the thermostat by just a few degrees, so you are not wasting any money cooling the house when no one needs it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_us_For_More_on_Air_Conditioner_Efficiency\"><\/span>Contact us For More on Air Conditioner Efficiency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you would like to learn more about air conditioner efficiency or would like to schedule a checkup to improve the efficiency of your HVAC system, Galmiche &amp; Sons is happy to help.
