Even the BEST air conditioner can’t fight summer heat with “one hand tied behind it’s back!!!”
Air conditioners face an uphill battle in Florida. Daily high temperatures and high humidity make keeping ones home or business comfortable even more challenging … and that is if the air conditioner in question is freshly serviced and in good running condition. An air conditioner that has been neglected, or is running inefficiently will provide minimal comfort, while at the same time, cost much more in electricity.

Proper maintenance is your best defense against the onslaught of high summer utility bills.
Here in southern part of the U.S. the cost of running your air conditioner is a major part of your electric bill. With a little thought and planning it is possible to significantly reduce the workload of your a/c unit thus reducing the amount of electricity you use and extending the life of your air conditioner.
- Make sure your a/c vents, both incoming and return, are not blocked by furniture or draperies.
- Turn off any electric light bulbs when not in use. Light bulbs generate heat that must be removed by your a/c unit.
- Change your a/c filter monthly!
- Cook on your outside grill when possible or use a microwave oven. Cooking on a stove or conventional oven adds heat to the inside of your home.
- On cooler days open your windows or rely on ceiling fans to keep your home comfortable.
Here are a few more tips that may help to give your a/c the upper hand …
- During the summer leave your a/c unit off until you get home from work, or use a programmable thermostat to turn the air conditioner on a half hour before you get home.
- If there are rooms in your home you don’t use regularly shut the vents in these areas and keep the door closed.
- If possible provide shade for your outside condensing unit. Always clear any grass, leaves, or debris that might inhibit air flow from around it.
- Turn off your computer or any home office equipment when not in use. These devices put out a considerable amount of heat.
- Keep your drapes closed when possible. They insulate your windows and keep direct sunlight from heating the inside of your house.
- Add weather stripping to your entry doors.
- Make sure your attic is well ventilated. A ridge vent or attic fan can easily, over a period of time, pay for itself with savings on your electric bill
- At least once a year have your a/c unit checked over and cleaned by a licensed Air Conditioning Contractor to ensure proper, safe, efficient operation!
