Cool Tips For Using Your A/C

Clean the Fans Too

Fans can collect a lot of dust on the blades This means that every time you
turn on a dirty fan you are circulating dust. Pollen and contaminated air.

Keep the air in your home clean with clean fans.

Check your AC Settings:

Keep air conditioners set as high as comfortable. For every degree higher
on the thermostat. The air conditioner will use 1-3% less electricity.

Cool it Down with the AC and Fan Combo

Set a timer on your AC so it will turn off after a few hours, and the fan will continue to circulate cool air.

Choose an Energy Efficient Unit

When shopping for an AC unit. select one that's energy efficient and right for
your space.

Look for the blue ENERGY STAR® certification This certification means that
this particular unit has met or exceeded higher efficiency standards than other
similar models.

Choose the right AC size for your space. One that's too large will waste energy and one that's too small will work too hard. Get a professional to help you decide what's right for you.

Select an AC with an energy-saving setting. These units can be set to turn off not only the compressor but also the fan once your space has cooled off. Conserving energy and saving you money.
