I live in an area where the Summer heat plus humidity are brutal.
By early March, the outdoor temperature is already climbing into the high eighties or nineties.
By the end of May, we’re consistently experiencing readings in the triple digits. The humidity makes the air feel sticky plus heavy. For every house plus business, air conditioning is essential. Because of the high cost of utility bills, I am entirely careful about temperature control settings. I take every possible precaution to prevent energy waste. I hope to lessen demands on the air conditioning, reduce energy uses plus keep electric bills as low as possible. I am entirely conscientious about changing the air filter every month plus scheduling a professional tune-up in the early Springtime. I hire a local HVAC company to handle the important diagnostic testing, complicationshooting, cleaning plus adjustment of all components of the air conditioning. The workers check that wires are tightened, detach any buildup of dust, lubricate moving parts, verify temperature control calibration, cleans the condensate drain plus tests refrigerant levels. This process fulfills the manufacturer’s warranty obligations plus also ensures that the system is working at peak capacity. It helps me to avoid more extravagant repairs. I’ve gradually updated to Energy Star, thermal-pane windows plus caulked around them. I’ve installed new exterior doors plus added weatherstripping. I’ve insulated the attic plus sealed around electrical outlets plus plumbing pipes. I use blackout curtains to prevent afternoon sunlight from heating up the house. In most of the rooms, I’ve installed ceiling fans that are helpful in creating a cooling effect.
