Generally most people try to install the smallest air conditioning unit that the room size will take. They do this believing that they have saved some money and got a good deal. Unfortunately in most cases this actually costs more money in the long run, you see, a smaller unit will have to work a whole lot harder to keep the room at the set temperature and therefore the motor will be running harder and longer to cool the room. Sometimes the best strategy that will save you money in the medium to long term is to go up a size in the unit as this unit has a larger motor so the output of cool air is greater but in a more efficient way. And that’s a good deal!
Cleaning your air conditioning unit not only improve the quality and health of the air in your home, it also saves you money. Check out our air conditioning cleaning service.
Make sure your ceiling fans are running well. Ceiling fans move the cool air around the room making you feel more comfortable. You can increase the temperature on your air conditioning unit by as much as 4 degrees without feeling the heat when using your air conditioning in conjunction with ceiling fans.
Before going to bed put the unit on a timer, the night temperature usually drops at around 2am, so you could easily set your unit to turn off at midnight and get a great night sleep.
