Tips on Increasing Your AC Unit’s Efficiency

Replacing AC filter

Your air conditioner is among the biggest energy users around the house, which is why it’s important to keep it running efficiently at all times. Clark’s Heating and Air, local experts in air conditioning repair in Braselton, GA, shares the following tips to help increase the efficiency of your unit and save your money in the long run.

Invest in Regular Maintenance

Air conditioning maintenance is the most effective way to ensure an air conditioner performs optimally without consuming extra energy. As part of regular maintenance, our team would inspect your AC to ensure everything is working as it should.

We will also identify issues that could affect performance before they escalate and require an air conditioning replacement. This is usually most important before the hot months when the AC works the most.

Clean the Outdoor Unit’s Surroundings

Leaves, twigs, and other debris around the outdoor unit can make it work harder, consuming more energy. Therefore, we advise homeowners to rake leaves regularly and cut tall grass, weeds, and shrubs near your unit after air conditioning installation.

Clean Indoor Vents and Filters

Indoor vents circulate cool air from the AC around the room. Debris and dust in the vents can block the flow of air, and decrease the efficiency of your unit. Therefore, homeowners should clear the vents regularly or schedule professional duct cleaning. We also advise against having furniture and other things close to the vents. Filters play a huge role in purifying the air circulating in the room. However, dirt and debris make the AC work harder. We advise cleaning or replacing them every three months.
