Saving Money with an Energy Efficient Air Conditioner

Energy efficient ac unit

Using an energy-efficient air conditioner is a big part of maintaining comfort in living and working environments all year long. This specific air conditioning is one of the most expensive “up-front” comfort costs which can be incurred. On the other side, a lot can be done to keep these costs down and actually save money in the long run.

Comparing Costs 

Being aware of the cost of using an energy-efficient air conditioner is information you can use to determine when to change the existing air conditioner. With an evaluation and inspection, you will have the information to keep records of what needs to be done and mark the items off as the improvements are concluded. Once done, comparing energy cost records with previous months will allow you to see what impact the improvements are having on the cost of energy. This will also help you prioritize which improvement needs to be completed first, based upon the cost to make the improvement while keeping the current energy budget.

Checking for Leaks and Other Costly Problems 

Part of the evaluation and inspection should include sealing any leaks and cracks in the system which affect what is being spent on energy. The insulation and duct are other items that may need attention also. If they need to be replaced, it can become more of a challenge and also add an additional cost. At Patrick's Heating & Air Conditioning, our experts will make sure you are making the right decision for your home or office, allowing for year-round comfort and cost savings.

Working with a Company You Can Trust

In order to continue saving energy costs, you should properly maintain whichever energy-efficient system you select. Performing routine maintenance on the system, including air filters, kept clean and replaced, refrigerant lines recharged, and aluminum cooling fins monitored both inside and outside your living space should be done by a professional.
