Tips to Save Money on Your AC This Summer

Summer is here, and it’s that time of the year when cranking up the AC becomes a necessity to beat the heat. While it helps keep us cool and comfortable, it can also lead to skyrocketing energy bills. Here are some tips to help you save money on your AC this summer without compromising your comfort.

California Energy Consultant Service can provide you with a free consultation on solutions that make energy efficiency possible for your home, including heating, air conditioning, insulation and more.

Schedule Regular Maintenance

One of the best ways to ensure your AC runs efficiently is to schedule regular maintenance. Think of it as a health checkup for your cooling system. A professional technician can identify and fix minor issues before they escalate, ensuring your AC operates smoothly and doesn’t consume excess energy, saving you money in the long run.

Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Windows

Did you know that upgrading to energy-efficient windows can significantly impact your AC costs? Experts can help you make smart choices for your window replacement so that cold air won’t escape your home or heat from outside won’t infiltrate your living spaces through your new windows.

Install a Programmable Thermostat

A programmable thermostat is a small investment that can lead to significant savings. By allowing you to customize temperature settings, such as raising the temperature when you’re not at home or asleep, you can reduce AC usage and save on energy bills.

Use Ceiling Fans and Ventilation

Ceiling fans might seem like an old-school solution, but they can effectively supplement your AC system. They help provide proper ventilation, which ensures hot air can escape, keeping your home cooler and reducing the burden on your AC.

Seal Air Leaks and Insulate

Air leaks can cause your AC to work harder than it needs to, causing an increase in energy consumption. Inspect your home for gaps or cracks and seal them to prevent cool air from escaping and hot air from entering. Insulating your home can also help regulate the temperature more effectively, reducing the need for constant AC use.
