A/C Installation & REplacement
Get the Right Size Air Conditioning Unit with Five Star
To maximize energy efficiency, purchase the correct size air conditioner for the area you want to cool. When it comes to A/C, bigger does not always equal better. If you install an air conditioner that is bigger than what you need, it can cost you more to run the unit. It can also cost you more money to purchase and install. If your air conditioning system is too big, it will cycle off and on more frequently. This causes the indoor temperature to fluctuate more, reduces the amount of moisture removed, and creates a less comfortable climate. It’s also harder on equipment and makes shortens its lifespan.
4 Home Cooling Tips for Ohio Homeowners
During the hot months of summer, a lot of Ohio homeowners look for ways to beat the heat. In the following, our home cooling heroes offer several tips to help you keep your home cool and save you money on your home cooling costs when it gets hot outside.
BLOCKING HEAT FROM REACHING THE HOME
Several ways to prevent direct sunlight from heating your home during the summer. These tips help to keep you cool while lowering air conditioning usage: Keep blinds and drapes closed from mid-morning through the early evening. Seal potential air leaks around windows and doors to keep cool air inside. Install a plastic film that can stick to your windows and block the heat while allowing light through. Plant trees outside the home, especially on the southern and western-facing sides.
CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONERS
Central air conditioners are an easy, but more expensive way to keep a home cool. They are best used with other cooling methods. While using a central air conditioner, it’s not good to set the thermostat lower than the desired temperature. This doesn’t cool the place faster. The recommended temperature setting for saving money is 78 degrees. Raising the temperature five to seven degrees for eight hours can reduce your home’s electric bill by as much as ten percent. Using a smart thermostat, Wi-Fi thermostat or programmable thermostat makes it easier to program desired temperatures at certain times of the day and saves you money on cooling costs while you’re away.
Using Fans
Fans help keep the air flowing. They create a breeze that makes your home feel cooler. Using fans during mild weather and during the night, instead of an air conditioner at times, can save you up to 50% on cooling costs. Additionally, keeping fans running can make adjusting the thermostat up a few degrees easier to reduce energy use. During the summer, ceiling fan blades should constantly move in a counterclockwise direction so the air they blow pushes air down toward the floor. Be sure to turn off these fans when leaving a room to save electricity. Although fans don’t cool homes, they make you feel cooler.
Clean and change your filters regularly
Taking proper care of your filters is probably the easiest and most effective way to keep your A/C unit healthy. Take note of the best filter for your air conditioner and adhere to the appropriate guidelines for cleaning or changing it. Vacuum and rinse reusable filters between your maintenance visits and replace them every few years for optimum air quality. If you use disposable filters, write the date on the filter when you return it. Make checking your filters a habit by grouping the chore with any other regular monthly occurrence, such as paying your rent or credit card bill.
