In Summer, the HVAC cost
including energy consumption and AC repair cost increasing
more than it should. I am saying “more than it should” because, in Summer, it
is understandable to end up with much higher energy consumption bill since you
will most probably use the central air conditioner in your house more than the Summertime.
But you should not let the HVAC cost more than what is a must.
To ensure you don’t spend more on your air
conditioning units
than you should, here are 4 effective ways you can do so –
1.
Don’t use it when you don’t need it
Don’t use it when
you don’t need it – this goes for everything from your air conditioner to your
TV.
Many people don’t
realize that keeping your electric appliance on stand by mode is not doing them
any good. Not only do they consume energy at the stand by mode, but they also produce
heat which eventually impacts the room environment. So, to mitigate the
additional heat from the room, your heating
and cooling system, more
specifically your air conditioning unit have to work even harder, which means
more energy consumption. This leads to higher energy bills that are completely unnecessary
and a waste. So, whenever you are done using your electronics in your home, turn
it off.
Same goes for the
HVAC system. No matter what you are using, a heat
pump, gas furnace
or a central ac unit,
you must turn it off when you don’t need it. This includes the times when you
go out or when you go to bed.
2.
Make sure your HVAC system is cleaned
People take AC maintenance and repair lightly. They think air duct cleaning, coil cleaning,
routine checkup, etc. are optional. But in fact, these are more important than updating
your phone when a new update comes for your device. AC services and repair is
very similar to phone update. Just like how your phone needs routine updates to
ensure bugs aren’t hindering the performance, your heating
and air conditioning system also require regular checkups by HVAC specialist
and regular cleaning. The only difference is, your HVAC system, if uncleaned,
will pose health hazards, especially your respiratory system.
Not that you should need any other reasons, apart from the health hazards,
an uncleaned HVAC system will also take a toll on the monthly bills. This is because
when the air ducts aren’t cleaned or the coils are cleaned, the efficiency of
the HVAC unit is compromised. And when you try to tone down the temperature using
an inefficient air conditioner, you are going to need more fuel or energy to reach
your point.
3.
Keep it shut
Last week, I went
to my sister’s house. There I noticed that she kept the windows open of the kitchen
and turned up the central air conditioner. I asked her later about the monthly
bills because I knew it’s going to be high. But when I heard the figure, I was
blown away by the fact that her open windows are causing her to pay almost
double of what she should pay.
This is a very
common problem that air conditioner or HVAC system users have. They don’t care
if the open window is making the whole air conditioner less efficient. They
just want to cool the house down by opening the windows and turning on the AC
together. But unfortunately, it just makes it worse. That’s why it is best to
keep the windows and doors closed when you are using an air conditioner.
4.
Take full advantage of the advanced technology at your
disposal
The chances of
you not knowing how to take full advantage of your phone are very low, especially
in this day and age where we book a ride on Lyft or Uber and book air tickets
online. So I can assume that you will also be able to take the full advantage of
all the electric gadget to make your heating and cooling experience convenient.
All the major HVAC
companies – even the expensive
models and bands – have outstanding innovation incorporated with their systems,
the vast majority of which individuals decide to effectively overlook.
From the smart and
automated systems that switch the temperature all over as individuals enter and
leave the home to individually controlled zones, air conditioners are not what
they used to be.
