Consider the following tips, and be sure to schedule your AC services in Columbia, SC with a member of our staff.
Seal Your Air Ducts
Sealing leaky ductwork is one of the most effective ways in which to get a more efficient performance from one’s home cooling system. Just remember, though, that this is not the type of job that you can handle on your own. If you have any reason at all to suspect the need for duct sealing in your home, dial our number. We can complete comprehensive air duct testing to determine if this the case. If so, we can go about sealing your ductwork successfully to eliminate efficiency draining leaks.
Upgrade Your Thermostat
Just because your thermostat is so small and so ubiquitous doesn’t mean that you can afford to overlook the vital role that it plays in the cooling of your home. It is, after all, your thermostat that lets you regulate the operation of your system at large. If your thermostat does not have programmability built in, or if you are interested in utilizing smart technology in order to better control your HVAC system for improved efficiency, give us a call. We’ll help you to find the most beneficial thermostat upgrade for your needs.
Use a Zone Control System
With a zone control system, you won’t have to cool your entire home to the same temperature throughout. That means that unoccupied or infrequently used rooms will not be sucking up energy despite the fact that there is really no need to keep them as cool. Contact us if you think that zoning your home may be right for your efficiency needs.
