Air Conditioner Service: Make the Most of Springtime Efficiency

April 08, 2015

It’s spring in Rapid City and that means it’s time for your annual air conditioner service. It’s getting warmer and people are getting spring fever. You can also add saving some money to your reasons for excitement.

You shouldn’t have to think about your air conditioner’s efficiency whenever you turn it on. You should be able to just enjoy the cool air without worrying you’ve been running it too often. We’ve gathered up some ideas for you to regulate the efficiency of your air conditioner this spring and summer.

Service

To make sure your air conditioner is running at peak efficiency all summer, have an air conditioner service completed on your system right before spring begins. Having air conditioner service done not only helps boost your system’s efficiency but by checking and changing your filters, can combat seasonal allergies by removing dust and dirt built up in your system, which can circulate throughout your house. This clog can cause respiratory discomfort and illnesses while also negatively impacting your system’s efficiency.

While scheduled annual air conditioner service clearly offers a lot of benefits, one of the most significant benefits is reducing the possibility of your system needing a potentially costly AC repair. Routine service will keep your systems operating properly, which extends the life of your unit.

Crack a Window

Some days the weather in Rapid City is idyllic. And that’s when you can open your windows and let the cool breeze in at night. This lets your air conditioner rest overnight and the next morning when you close the windows and trap the cool air inside.

Make Your Thermostat Work for You

Rapid City can really heat up in the summer. It only makes sense you’d want to crank the AC up so you can always walk into a refreshingly cool home. This habit isn’t the best for keeping your system running efficiently because keeping your thermostat set to a higher temperature in the summer is vital to keeping your utility bills lower. If you can keep the difference in the outside temperature and your indoor temperature smaller, you will decrease your energy use, and therefore your bill.

With regular air conditioner service and making small changes in your routine, it’s no trouble to keep your air conditioner at max efficiency this summer in Rapid City. You’ll keep your home and your wallet comfortable. For immediate benefits, get your air conditioner service scheduled today. Call the experts at Street Heating and Cooling at 605-206-3915.
