There are a few ways to help determine whether or not it’s time to replace your air conditioner. First, if your unit is older than 10 years old and the cost to repair it is over $3000, it’s probably time to consider replacing the unit. Second, if you’ve been properly maintaining your unit and notice a marked increase in energy bills, it’s a sign that either repairs or replacement is needed. In addition, if you notice refrigerant leaking, it could cause problems with the compressor. Again, if the repairs are over $3000 a replacement might be needed.
Having your air conditioner serviced once or twice a year helps eliminate costly repairs before irreparable damage is caused. It also helps the unit perform more efficiently, resulting in lower energy costs.
Changing the air filters every month is the best way to help your air conditioning unit to work more efficiently. Doing so not only makes the air in your home cleaner but it also helps the unit perform more efficiently by allowing optimal airflow. It’s also recommended to have the unit serviced by a professional every year. They’ll inspect for damage, clean debris, and make sure all components are operating properly.
The right size unit can make a big difference. If it’s too small, the unit will have to work harder which will result in a shorter lifespan and higher energy costs. A unit that’s too large for the space could create mould issues. A qualified professional can visit your home or business and determine what size system would be best for you.
Proper airflow is vital to the performance of an air conditioning unit. However, closing off a single room won’t hurt the overall performance. It’s never a good idea to close more than 20% of the vents.
Programmable thermostats vary in cost and there’s one for every budget. Because they’re programmable, you can set them to turn on and off at times convenient to your lifestyle. They can turn off when you’re at work and turn on a half-hour before you come home. Or they can adjust while you’re sleeping. With that said, they can save between 10 to 30% off your energy bill.
