How to Help Your Air Conditioner Run More Efficiently

July 10, 2015

Air conditioners are potentially the most important asset of a home during hot months. They offer comfort when the heat in Buffalo is at its fieriest 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 certainly wouldn’t dispute the value of professional quality air conditioner service, there are a number of things you can take a look at yourself.

At Sunbeam Service Experts, we think it’s great that you want to save money on your monthly energy costs, which is why we compiled this list for you to consider:

  • Change your home’s air filter. It’s probably the most referenced homeowner task from heating and cooling companies, but it really does make a big 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, most homes can lose between 20 and 30 percent of the air that passes through them as a result of duct leaks and other duct problems.
  • Open your vents. It’s an awfully common mistake among homeowners, but keeping rooms closed and vents shut in seldom used rooms doesn’t automatically mean you save money. Keeping all of your vents open helps the system do its job because airflow isn’t being repressed.
  • Air conditioner service. Professionals recommend that you arrange up air conditioner service with Sunbeam Service Experts. Any time you have air conditioner headaches and your comfort is being jeopardized, call in the experts.

If you’ve checked all of these tips and you’re still running in to a problem with your home’s heating and cooling system, it’s probably time for air conditioner service. Give Sunbeam Service Experts in Buffalo a call at 716-427-6807 or set up an appointment online to get it taken care of.
