Running an air conditioner couldn’t be easier than setting it and forgetting it, right?
Actually, that is true for the most part. If you set your thermostat to a good program, you won’t have to do much to keep monthly expenses low.
But sometimes, homeowners become misinformed and make some mistakes when running their air conditioners. These mistakes can be costly, and they might even lead to the need for AC repair in Winder, GA. Here are just a few of that you should avoid:
Central air conditioning is still the most popular air conditioning system out there. If you have an AC and aren’t sure what kind it is, it’s most likely a central AC. Why? Simply because these systems are affordable, effective, and able to be installed in nearly every kind of home. In other words, it’s the perfect system for someone who doesn’t know a lot about their options but wants something that works.
But after using your central AC for a few years, you will start to understand its pros and cons firsthand. From there you might realize that, for your next system, you might be interested in trying one of these options:
The symptoms of dry air: cracked skin, dry nose and throat, nose bleeds… Not very fun. Your best defense against the dry, winter air is a humidifier. But if you have to break out the humidifier at least once a year, then you might be better off just getting a whole-house humidifier installed into your current HVAC system. Here’s why:
After learning about the impact that indoor air quality can have on your home, you’re probably now hyper-aware of the dust floating through your air, the stuffy air in some rooms, and recoiling in horror at the cloud of dust that appears when you pat your dog’s fur. It’s almost enough to make you want to run out and buy all the filters and purifiers you can get your hands on.
But don’t fall into that trap! Before you make any decisions on your own, you need to begin with an air quality test and inspection from a qualified HVAC contractor in Winder, GA. They’ll then be able to device a proper air quality strategy for your individual needs. That being said, here are some ideas for what can be done about the particulates floating around your home:
Your energy bill is suddenly on the rise, but you haven’t been using your heater more than usual. You’ve looked up countless HVAC blogs, sifting through probable repair issues, but none of them seem to be resonating with your problem.
If that’s the case, what you might be looking at is a duct leak. Leaks in your duct system can substantially drive up your energy expenses, all without making a sound or displaying any kind of obvious symptoms. If you didn’t know what to look for, it would be truly puzzling.
In this post, we’ll go over what duct leaks are to help you make sense of your mysterious rising energy costs.
