How to Help Your Air Conditioner Run More Efficiently

July 10, 2015

Air conditioners are arguably the greatest asset of a home during warmer months. They provide comfort when the heat in Pierre is at its fieriest and helps keep your environment just like you like it. So how can you help your air conditioner run better?

The answer is first and foremost expert air conditioner service that touts a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. And while we surely wouldn’t dispute the value of professional quality air conditioner service, there are a couple things you can do yourself.

At Peitz Service Experts, we think it’s fantastic that you want to save some on your monthly energy costs, which is why we put together this list for you to consider:

  • Change your home’s air filter. It’s likely the most referenced homeowner task from heating and cooling companies, but it really does make a huge difference. Dirty air filters block air flow and make it a challenge for your air conditioner to do its job – which means your comfort is compromised.
  • Seal your home’s ducts. According to the folks at ENERGY STAR, many homes can lose between 20 and 30 percent of the air that passes through them due to duct leaks and other duct problems.
  • Open your vents. It’s a pretty common mistake among homeowners, but keeping rooms closed off and vents shut in seldom used rooms doesn’t always mean you save money. Keeping all of your vents open helps the system perform its job because airflow isn’t being inhibited.
  • Air conditioner service. Professionals recommend that you set up air conditioner service with Peitz Service Experts. Any time you have air conditioner headaches and your comfort is being sacrificed, call in the experts.

If you’ve checked all of these tips and you’re still running in to an issue with your home’s heating and cooling system, it’s most likely time for air conditioner service. Give Peitz Service Experts in Pierre a call at 605-223-0307 or set up an appointment online to get it taken care of.
