How to Get the Most From Your Air Conditioner
How to Get the Most From Your Air Conditioner
Florida's heat means your air conditioner runs nearly year-round. Here's how to maximize its efficiency, lifespan, and comfort output.
Change Your Filter Regularly
A dirty filter is the single most common cause of reduced AC performance. Replace your filter every 30-90 days depending on household size, pets, and allergy concerns.
Keep the Outdoor Unit Clear
Maintain at least two feet of clearance around your outdoor condenser unit. Trim back shrubs and clear debris to ensure proper airflow.
Use a Programmable Thermostat
Setting your thermostat a few degrees higher when you're away reduces runtime and energy consumption. Smart thermostats adjust automatically based on your schedule.
Schedule Annual Maintenance
A professional tune-up each spring keeps your system running at peak efficiency. Air & Energy's VIP Maintenance Program includes two annual visits, priority scheduling, and 10% off repairs.
Address Repairs Quickly
Ignoring unusual sounds, reduced airflow, or inconsistent cooling leads to more expensive problems. Schedule AC service at the first sign of trouble.
