How to Save Money on Air Conditioning

With spring upon us, the sun is starting to shine brighter, the days are growing longer, and the temperatures are heating up by the day. All around America, homeowners are starting to crank the AC in hopes of staying cool while inside their homes.

However, constantly running the air conditioning can get expensive very quickly. So, what should you do if you want to keep your home cool but are on a fairly strict budget? Is there a way to ensure that you stay cool and stay on top of the bottom line?

Here are three ways to save money on AC this spring:

1) Only use AC during the day.
While spring days can be warm, spring nights cool down significantly in many American cities. Only running your air conditioning unit during the day will ensure that the home is cool while the sun is beating down, and will allow you to use mother nature to cool the house down at night.

2) Keep doors closed.
Growing up, you probably had your mom remind you more than once to keep the door closed to avoid letting the cold air out, and she was right. Keeping your doors closed allows the room you’re in to cool quicker and for a longer period of time, allowing you to only run the unit intermittently.

3) Have it serviced by Teems Electric.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and that rings true in the world of HVAC as well. Having your Teems Electric team member take a look at your unit and make any needed repairs may have some upfront cost, but it is vastly insignificant when you compare that to the potential cost of replacing the unit.
