The following tips will help you ensure your air conditioner is both comfortable and economical year-round:
- During hot weather, turn your air conditioner on early in the day rather than working it harder once your building warms up.
- Adjust the louvers on split system air conditioners so they disperse air downwards when heating and horizontally when cooling as hot air will want to rise and cool air will fall naturally.
- Clean the air filters regularly.
- When purchasing an air conditioner check the energy star labels on your air conditioner — the more stars, the more energy efficient.
- Have your air conditioner serviced regularly.
