Although we’re entering the cooler months, our Orlando air conditioning units are still running nearly nonstop. This constant use of AC nearly all year long can become costly. That’s why it’s good to know some ways to increase the efficiency of your air conditioner during even the cooler months.
- Get a House Fan: Purchasing a whole-house, or attic, fan can drastically improve the effectiveness of your AC. This type of fan takes air from outside and removes old stale air that’s inside your house. There are even small versions of this fan for individual rooms that are left running all day, keeping it fresh and cool all the time.
- Ventilation in Your Attic: With the sun continuously beating down on Florida roofs, it’s important to have attic ventilation. This alone can improve the efficiency of your AC unit by nearly ten percent. For the placement of attic ventilation, All Temp AC and Refrigeration advises you to be aware of the right sizing for your ventilation system so it’s most effective in reducing heat.
- Ceiling Fans: The installation of ceiling fans shouldn’t be overlooked as they can decrease room temperature by as much as seven degrees. With ceiling fans running and keeping room temperatures low, air conditioners won’t need to turn on due to any increase in temperature that will occur in rooms without one. This is one of the most effective ways homeowners can improve their Orlando air conditioning efficiency.
- Ductless AC: Ductless AC helps cool rooms individually with little sound. This is made possible because the compressor is away from the unit. Air conditioners attached to windows don’t have this luxury which is why installing a ductless air conditioner is recommended. They are also controlled by remote and are typically located near the ceiling for optimal AC dispersal.
