While many homeowners throughout the country are breathing a sigh of relief as temperatures cool and they use their cooling systems less and less, we aren\u2019t so fortunate. Not only do we have the heat to contend with, but the humidity as well, and it\u2019s not going away any time soon.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t say this to be depressing, but rather to highlight the fact that you are still going to be using your air conditioner for some time, and we want to help you use it as efficiently as possible. After all, if you can save money on your energy costs, wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n
Well we have some good news\u2014there is an easy way to do so, and it has to do with your thermostat! Read on to learn more about this, and a few other ways you can improve air conditioner efficiency to save energy and money.<\/p>\n
The thermostat is essentially the brain of your air conditioner. You tell it what temperature you want your home, and it tells your air conditioner to do the work to get there. The problem arises when you set the thermostat too <\/em>low. Not a lot of people know this, but an air conditioner actually struggles to cool any more than 20\u00b0F of the temperature outside.<\/p>\n So, this means that if it\u2019s 95\u00b0 outside, and you set the thermostat to 70\u00b0, it may not ever be able to actually achieve that temperature, and therefore the compressor will continue to run in order to try to reach your desired settings.<\/p>\n This wastes unnecessary energy, as does setting your thermostat this low when you aren\u2019t home, or are sleeping and not actually moving around your home.<\/p>\n Using your thermostat the right way is certainly important, but not the only way to save energy in your home when it comes to your HVAC system.
