Replace HVAC Filters
Your AC system collects dirt, dust, and other matter, which can reduce efficiency, decrease your indoor air quality, and deteriorate your system. It is important to check, clean, and change your air filters every 60-90 days for your system to work to the best of its ability. Changing your air filters is part of a tune-up from Quinoco.
Reset Your Thermostat
When warm weather kicks in, it’s time to change your thermostat to cool mode for Summer. For optimal efficiency, consider installing a smart thermostat. You’ll be able to set your thermostat to automatically adjust the temperature when you're not at home, which can help reduce energy consumption and save money on your energy bills.
Consider AC Efficiency For Savings
The standards for energy efficiency are set by the U.S. Department of Energy, with a SEER rating assigned to every piece of equipment. The higher the SEER, the greater the efficiency, the less electricity needed to cool your home. Read more here!
CONSIDER THESE STATS:
If your AC was installed before 2006, the average SEER was 10. Now, due to age, that same piece of equipment has a SEER of 7 or 8.
The minimum SEER allowed to be installed today is 13.2.
For every increase in SEER, you should see a 4-6% decrease in your electricity costs.
