1. CHANGE THE AIR FILTERS
You should replace the air filter for your air conditioner every couple of months to make sure that it is clean and working properly. You may need to replace your air filter more often if you have pets in the house. A dirty air filter causes your system to work harder, and it increases the likelihood of repairs. A clogged air filter will also increase your energy costs.
2. MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY
One way to lower your utility bill each month is by setting the maximum and minimum temperatures throughout the day within a few degrees of each other. Maintaining this relatively stable range will allow for efficient operation of your air conditioner without causing additional stress as it tries to compensate for an extreme difference in temperatures.
3. USE THE FAN SETTING ON YOUR THERMOSTAT
On moderate days, you may not need to crank up the AC to cool down. Remember that you can turn your air conditioner to the “fan” mode. If the heat isn’t excessive outdoors, this might be sufficient to keep you comfortable. It will also lessen the burden on your AC and lower your utility bill.
