There’s nothing quite like the feeling of entering a cool, air-conditioned house on a hot day. That soothing blast of fresh air can be a lifesaver during the scorching Colorado summer. We at Allied Heating & Air Colorado are proud to bring you this comprehensive guide to understanding, maintaining, and enjoying your air conditioning service to the fullest.
As a licensed Air Conditioning Service and AC Repair provider, we have the know-how necessary to help you stay cool and comfortable all season long. To that end, let’s delve into some helpful tips and suggestions to keep your AC unit in peak working condition.
1. Regular Maintenance – Consistent maintenance to your air conditioning unit is like scheduling a check-up for your health. It helps catch minor issues before they escalate into major problems, potentially prolonging the life of your unit.
2. Keep It Clean – A dirty filter restricts airflow, forcing your AC unit to work harder, and thus shorten its lifespan. Changing your air filter regularly (every one to three months) can significantly enhance its performance and efficiency.
3. Thermostat Settings – Set a comfortable temperature that’s not too low. A cooler setting doesn’t automatically cool things down faster and can strain the air conditioner. Energy Star suggests an ideal setting of 78 degrees during summer.
4. Check Your Insulation – Good insulation helps keep the cool air where you want it – inside your home. It also saves energy by reducing the amount of work your air conditioner has to do to maintain a cool environment.
5. Use Ceiling Fans – Ceiling fans circulate cool air around the room, relieving some pressure off your AC unit and saving you money in the process. Just ensure your fans are running in a counterclockwise direction for best results in summer.
6. Protect It From Sun and Debris – Place your AC unit in a shady area, protected from the sun’s heat. Also, clear any debris around the unit that might obstruct airflow.
