Keeping your home cool during the warm months and comfortable year-round doesn’t have to come with high energy bills. Many homeowners are surprised to learn just how much energy their air conditioning systems can waste when not properly maintained.
If you’re looking to reduce your utility costs and improve system performance, scheduling an AC tune-up is one of the best steps you can take. Routine maintenance, along with a few energy-saving habits, can go a long way toward ensuring your AC operates efficiently all year long.
There aren’t many things that HVAC professionals will tell you to do on your own when it comes to servicing your cooling system. And the fact of the matter is, for big repair needs, this is true, especially since there are various components of an HVAC system that professionals need special training and licensing for, such as the refrigerant in your air conditioner, or natural gas if we’re talking about a heating system.
With temperatures still on the warmer side, and with the violent weather we had recently, your air conditioner’s repair needs are probably not at the top of mind, especially if that system is still running and keeping you relatively cool.
If you’re like most homeowners, you’re not going to turn down a chance to save money, right? This is especially true if we’re referring to energy and utility bills (which we are!) In addition to these utility bills every month, when it comes to your HVAC systems, you also have the cost of upkeep to consider–repairs, eventual replacement, and maintenance. This can all be understandably overwhelming.
The ductwork attached to HVAC systems is one of those things that homeowners often don’t pay much attention to. After all, they’re out of sight, and therefore out of mind too, until they start to make your energy bills skyrocket.
