How to Beat the Summer Heat with Your Air Conditioner

Published on April 23, 2015
Hot Summer

Warmer temperatures are right around the corner in Calgary, which means it’s nearly time to turn on your air conditioner. But just because it’s about to be the air conditioning season doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune to keep your home comfortable. From improving your home’s efficiency to adding a programmable thermostat, there are a number of ways to beat the summer heat without driving up your monthly energy costs.

Fresh Filtration

One of the easiest ways to keep your air conditioner running at peak performance is by changing your home’s air filter every month during the summer. Your air conditioner’s most-worked season is just around the corner, which means that you’ll be relying on it a lot. Running your air conditioner all the time can quickly build up dirt and dust on your air filter, making it more difficult for your system to move the same amount of air. Over time that can point to AC repair, which no one wants to deal with when the temperatures in Calgary get their hottest. Keeping a fresh filter in your system can help you improve efficiency and keep your home more comfortable while you’re at it.

Programmed Performance

Programmable thermostats aren’t new, but they have changed quite a bit over the last couple years, allowing homeowners to experience new levels of control and comfort. What often goes unrecognized is how a perfectly programmed thermostat can help improve your air conditioner’s efficiency and make a dent in your monthly energy costs. By keeping your home warmer when you are away, you can give your air conditioner a break and utilize the savings that come with not cooling an empty home.

Keep Windows Covered

When you leave your home, closing your blinds and shades can help keep unwanted heat out of your home. When left open, that heat can trigger your air conditioner to turn on even when you’re not home, boosting costs and unnecessarily using energy that you’re not even feeling the benefits of. Even in regions like Calgary you can utilize blackout curtains to help keep even more heat out of your home.

Knowing that the temperature is on the rise in Calgary brings about great joy, so don’t let high energy bills change that. There are a variety of easy changes you can make to boost efficiency and keep your home comfortable. If you’d like to hear more about beating the heat this summer, give the team at A1 Chesney Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning a call at 587-315-5271 or set up an appointment online to get your air conditioner service completed before the temperatures soar.
