Here are 17 ways to cool down your house to ease air-conditioning costs - KPRC2
An expert air-conditioning inspection can help your system run better and more efficiently. In addition to checking your unit inside and outside your home, HVAC experts can also fill up levels of refrigerant in your air-conditioner so you won’t have an underperforming unit.Who knew about these little gadgets? We didn’t. But here’s the way they work. Duct booster fans replace floor or mounted covers in order to get air moving faster than it normally would through the vent.
It’s important to keep the outside of your home clean. This is especially important around areas of your home that have air intake and exhaust. If these areas are clogged with dirt or debris, your HVAC system will have to run harder to bring in air to cool and work harder to cool spaces that may be trapping hot air.
Pest control is a good idea around an HVAC system. Bugs and rodents can invade the spaces that house your HVAC system and can cause a lot of damage inside the system and to it. Get experts or do it yourself, but target both insects and rodents to avoid damage to your ductwork or the unit’s wiring. Be sure to have the inside and outside of your home treated. Also, keep overgrowth away from your units so animals won’t find a home inside the perceived shelter of them.
Air circulation is a great goal for your home. You can move cool air from your unit’s vents to warm areas of your home and circulate that warm air to the intake vents for your air-conditioning unit. Floor fans are a great way to get this circulation going.Dehumidifiers help extract moisture out of the air. While dehumidifiers do not make air cooler, they do help with feels-like temperatures in your home. Your home will feel several degrees cooler and definitely more comfortable.
Energy audits are a great way to figure out how your home is performing under extreme circumstances. Professional energy assessments generally go into great detail to assess your home’s energy use,. The energy assessor will do a room-by-room examination of the home, as well as a thorough examination of past utility bills. Many professional energy assessments will include a blower door test and a thermographic scan.
