Air Conditioning Tips

With the high temperature predicted for this upcoming weekend, there's a good chance that many of you will be using your air conditioning in Cibolo TX.  In order to keep your home cool and energy costs low, it's important to make sure your system is running efficiently. Here are some tips to keep your home cool and help your system run effectively.

•          Replace old units. If your AC unit is over 10 years old, it may be time to invest in a new one. AC units today operate much more efficiently than older models, which helps reduce power consumption significantly. In order to ensure that your new AC system meets the highest efficiency standards, look for products with an ENERGY STAR label.
•          Adjust for humidity. On humid days, make sure that your AC fan speed is low. Slowing the movement of air as it circulates through the system will help remove moisture from the air, and will allow you to keep your home cool and dry on those humid days.
• Keep air circulating. Hot air rises, so the second floor of your home may be a lot warmer than the rest of the house. Use fans to help move the air around and maintain a more consistent temperature.
