Here's an exercise that could show you how to save money with your central air conditioning this summer: tie a dirty rag over your face and go for a nice long jog!
I'm not being serious, of course, but I am making a serious point: when you run your central air conditioning with a dirty compressor and evaporator coils, this can strangle the air flow to your system, making it run a lot less efficiently--like trying to run a race with a dirty rag over your face.
So one of the simplest things you can do to cut your cooling (and heating) energy usage is to keep your system clean. This is good for your pocketbook and good for the planet.
According to John Schulte, executive director of NADCA (the HVAC Inspection, Maintenance and Restoration Association), "The American home accounts for almost a quarter of the world's energy usage, and heating and cooling make up as much as half of the energy cost in our homes. When we talk about easy ways to increase energy efficiency, it only makes sense to start with the easiest fixes to the biggest costs. That's why HVAC cleaning makes so much sense not only for our homes, but also for the planet."
So the next time you go for a run (if you're into that), remember to also keep your home heating and cooling system running smoothly by keeping it clean. This will help win the race for more efficient energy usage.
And if your system needs a cleaning, give us a call!
