Avoid Air Conditioning Problems. While it remains scorching outside, air conditioners also need a
break. Running your air conditioning unit full blast 24/7 is like asking for a
breakdown—and a whopping utility bill! Here at Edd Helms, we’d like to offer you
a few industry tips so that you can stay cool this summer and also give your air
conditioner a little downtime. With a few pointers, you can maximize your cool
air and your dollars.
First, look at what setting you keep your thermostat on. There
are two "on" options, "on" and "automatic." Plainly put, the system will
constantly stay on when it is set to "on," and when it is set to "automatic" the
thermostat will only kick on and adjust when necessary. Also, the fan option
will counteract your air conditioner—the a.c. serves to remove humidity from the
air inside, but running the fan will actually blow that humid air back inside,
thus proving the entire process counter-productive.
Change the filter! Many people don’t realize how much buildup
can occur on the air filters over the course of a month. It is a little
disturbing how much dust, dirt and buildup are flowing into your air supply each
month, and by changing it monthly you can keep a check on how much is cycling in
through (or blocking clean air from cycling through) your home and into your
family’s lungs.
These pointers should help you here in South Florida, where the "summer"
tends to last year round. If you do experience a situation calling for
