Tips For Reducing Your A/C Bill During the Hottest Months of the Year

As we head into the peak of summer, your air conditioner is likely working harder than ever to keep your home comfortable. This increased workload can lead to a significant surge in your electricity bill. Here are some tips to help you stay cool without breaking the bank during these hottest months of the year:

1. Use fans, windows, and shade. First, prevent heat from getting in by closing blinds and curtains during the day. Next, use fans to circulate air, which creates a cooling effect that lets you turn up the thermostat. Finally, when it’s cooler outside (usually at night or in the early morning), open your windows to let the fresh, cool air in and push the stale, hot air out.

2. Consider installing a smart thermostat. This device pays attention to your schedule and learns exactly when to cool your home and when to save energy. It knows you’re heading home from work and pre-cools the house so it’s perfect when you walk in. It also means your A/C isn’t running needlessly, leading to a major drop in your cooling costs.

3. Maintain your A/C unit. A well-maintained air conditioner runs more efficiently and saves you money. Check your air filters monthly during the summer, and if they’re clogged with dust and debris, replace them. Once a year, make sure to have a technician from Kettman Heating and Plumbing come out to service the unit and make sure it’s ready for the summer heatwave.

Following these tips will help you lower your energy bills, but true peace of mind comes from an air conditioner you can rely on. To ensure your system is running at peak efficiency and is ready for the summer heat, trust the expert technicians at Kettman Heating and Plumbing.
