Air conditioners are possibly the greatest asset of a home during warmer months. They provide comfort when the heat in Hilton Head Island is at its worst and helps keep your environment just as you like it. So how can you help your air conditioner run better?
The answer is first and foremost professional air conditioner service that touts a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. And while we surely wouldn’t argue the value of professional quality air conditioner service, there are a few things you can do yourself.
At Epperson Service Experts, we think it makes sense that you want to save some on your monthly energy costs, which is why we put together this list for you to consider:
- Change your home’s air filter. It’s likely the most referenced homeowner task from heating and cooling companies, but it really does make a world of difference. Dirty air filters block air flow and make it a challenge for your air conditioner to do its job – which means your comfort suffers.
- Seal your home’s ducts. According to the folks at ENERGY STAR, typical homes can lose between 20 and 30 percent of the air that passes through them due to duct leaks and other duct problems.
- Open your vents. It’s a pretty common mistake among homeowners, but keeping rooms shut and vents shut in seldom used rooms doesn’t necessarily mean you save money. Keeping all of your vents open helps the system perform its job because airflow isn’t being prevented.
- Air conditioner service. Professionals recommend that you set up air conditioner service with Epperson Service Experts. Any time you have air conditioner headaches and your comfort is being compromised, call in the experts.
If you’ve checked all of these tips and you’re still running in to an issue with your home’s heating and cooling system, it’s more than likely time for air conditioner service.
