Things You Might Not Know About Your AC

Bigger Isn’t Always Better

Oversized AC units can cool a space too quickly, leading to frequent cycling, increased wear, and poor humidity control.

It Doesn’t Just Cool Air—It Dehumidifies Too

A big part of the cooling effect comes from removing moisture from the air, improving comfort levels.

Air Filters Matter More Than You Think

Dirty or clogged filters can reduce efficiency by up to 15% and strain the system, leading to potential breakdowns.

Regular Maintenance Saves Money

Neglecting tune-ups can lead to higher bills and shorter equipment life—simple tasks like cleaning coils or checking refrigerant levels make a difference.

Location Affects Performance

AC units placed in direct sunlight work harder and wear out faster. Shading your unit can improve efficiency.

Thermostat Placement Is Crucial

If your thermostat is near a hot window or appliance, it may cause the AC to run longer than needed.

Closed Vents Don’t Save Money

Shutting vents in unused rooms can disrupt airflow and strain your system rather than saving energy.

Your AC Can Help with Air Quality

Many systems can be equipped with air purifiers or advanced filters to reduce allergens and pollutants.

Refrigerant Isn’t Fuel

It’s a closed-loop system. If you’re losing refrigerant, there’s a leak—and that’s a problem that needs fixing.

Zoning Systems Maximize Comfort

Multi-zone AC systems allow you to cool only the areas you’re using, which can greatly improve comfort and efficiency.
