Just because you rely more on your air conditioner during these double and triple digit Austin summer months does not mean your bills need to so drastically increase. You can use these tricks and tips to ensure that your air conditioner remains efficient all summer long.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Increasing the Temperature on Your Thermostat<\/h2>\n<p>This is one tip you have probably heard before\u2014and that is because its really works! If you increase your thermostat setting by just a few degrees in the summer, it can help you save a large amount in monthly energy costs, as much as 25%.<\/p>\n<h2>Schedule Routine Maintenance<\/h2>\n<p>Having a professional come out to your house and perform routine maintenance on the AC system will help your air conditioner perform well in the face of the late summer heat. A quick maintenance appointment will check essential system functions and perform easy alternations that will greatly benefit thesystem. Our team here at Roznovak\u2019s Services Inc. can thoroughly service your AC unit. We even offer an annual maintenance program you can enroll in so you never forget an essential service appointment.<\/p>\n<h2>Make Sure All Room Vents Are Clear<\/h2>\n<p>If there is anything blocking the airflow coming from the room vents, this is decreasing the efficiency of your system. Make sure there aren\u2019t any items like furniture, light fixtures, or curtains blocking the flow from your vents. Additionally, try sweeping or vacuuming in front of vents around your home. Clearing dust and debris can help increase airflow through a home.<\/p>\n<h2>Consider the Position of Your Unit<\/h2>\n<p>Make sure your AC is in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Shade is probably the most important factor when considering efficiency. Don\u2019t place your AC in an area that\u2019s constantly in the sun\u2014it will make it a lot harder to cool your home. Keeping your outdoor unit in a shaded place will make it much easier for the unit to perform its job because it won\u2019t have to battle its own internal temperature in addition to the scorching Texas heat.<\/p>\n<h2>Keeping Your Curtains and Blinds Closed<\/h2>\n<p>Keeping your home dark during the day will lower the temperature in your home. Just like the right position of an outdoor unit eliminates strain on the system, keeping your blinds closed will ensure that the sunshine isn\u2019t adding extra stress to a system. This will help relieve some of the work your AC system has to do. It also allows\u00a0the unit to function while the thermostat runs at a higher temperature.<\/p>\n<h2>Signs of a Deeper Problem<\/h2>\n<p>If you try these tips and they don\u2019t seem to work for you, it might be indicative of a deeper issue with\u00a0the AC system.
