How to Beat the Summer Heat with Your Air Conditioner

Warmer temperatures are right around the corner in Columbus, which means it’s almost time to turn on your air conditioner. But just because it’s about to be the air conditioning season doesn’t mean you have to shell out a fortune to keep your home comfortable. From improving your home’s efficiency to adding a programmable thermostat, there are a number of ways to beat the summer heat without driving up your monthly energy bills. 

Fresh Filtration 

One of the easiest ways to keep your air conditioner running at peak performance is by changing your home’s air filter every month during the summer. Your air conditioner’s most-worked season is almost here, which means that you’ll be relying on it pretty heavily. Running your air conditioner frequently can quickly build up dirt and dust on your air filter, making it harder for your system to move the same amount of air. Over time that can lead to AC repair, which no one wants to deal with when the temperatures in Columbus get their hottest. Keeping a fresh filter in your system can help you boost efficiency and keep your home more comfortable while you’re at it. 

Programmed Performance 

Programmable thermostats aren’t new, but they have grown quite a bit over the last few years, allowing homeowners to experience new levels of control and comfort. What often goes unnoticed is how a perfectly programmed thermostat can help improve your air conditioner’s efficiency and make a dent in your monthly energy expenses. By keeping your home warmer when you are away, you can give your air conditioner a break and reap the benefits of the savings that come with not cooling an empty home. 

Keep Windows Covered 

When you leave your home, closing your blinds and shades can help keep undesired heat out of your home. When left open, that heat can trigger your air conditioner to turn on even when you’re not home, boosting costs and unnecessarily using energy that you’re not even feeling the benefits of. Even in climates like Columbus you can use blackout curtains to help keep even more heat out of your home. 

Recognizing that the temperature is on the rise in Columbus brings about great joy, so don’t let high energy expenses change that. There are a variety of easy changes you can make to increase efficiency and keep your home comfortable.
