What?! Make my home warmer in the summer months?! Studies have shown that keeping your home at 78 instead of 72 can save you up to 18% off your energy consumption. If you’re someone who does not compromise with the thermostat, we recommend a programmable thermostat that allows your AC system relax while you are away.
Even with all these fancy gadgets and gizmos like a programmable thermostat, it won’t keep your system running efficiently forever. By taking care of your system, like changing the filter, making sure vents are open, and making sure that the area around your unit is clear–this should help maximize the lifespan of your unit.
Keep objects such as dishwashers, dryers, and large tvs, and activities such as grilling, baking, and long showers to a minimum during the day when it’s the warmest outside. Doing this will have your unit be able to keep up and work more efficiently.
