AIR CONDITIONING COMPANY – EXPERT SERVICE, ESSEX

A. A common misconception about air conditioners is that they are very expensive to run. But in reality, most modern air conditioners are very economical. The electric bill for air conditioners varies depending on a number of factors, but when used sensibly, you shouldn’t find that air conditioning your home breaks the bank. For example, a 2.5 kW AC unit will only cost around 22 cents an hour to run.

A. While most modern AC systems are pretty cost-effective and energy efficient by default, there are things you can do to increase their efficiency even more. Stop fiddling with the thermostat. Constantly adjusting the thermostat is a sure-fire way to run up your electric bill as the unit will be working more as it keeps needing to adjust itself. Bear in mind that setting the thermostat to a lower temperature than you actually want, won’t help cool the room down any quicker.

A. IACS recommends that you service your air conditioning system at least once a year. This yearly service will ensure you catch any issues and keep your AC working its best, ultimately saving you money.

A. All too commonly, homeowners install AC that is wrongly sized for their needs. An AC without enough capacity will mean the unit struggles to maintain the temperature you set it at and could end up wearing itself out. On the other hand, an AC that is too powerful for your needs means wasted expense on the unit as well as the unit cycling on and off too often, reducing its ability to remove humidity from the air, higher electricity bills, and sometimes uneven cooling in your home. Choosing an appropriately sized AC unit will ensure the elite efficiency and standard of cooling in your home.
