Energy-Saving Tips from Performance Air, Inc.
You may be spending hundreds more energy dollars
each month than you need to spend!
Performance Air knows what it takes
to keep your electric bill as low as possible, by keeping your air conditioning system
working at it’s maximum efficiency.
Air conditioning accounts for a substantial portion of your energy
bills throughout the year, and up to 50% during the hottest summer months. Replacing your
old air conditioning system is the best defense against high energy costs all year, and is
actually one of the very best (and least risky) investments you can make. If your central
A/C system is more than 10 years old, energy savings from a new high-efficiency system
from Performance Air can actually pay for your new system in
less than three and a half years, and FPL's rebate program can save you up to an
additional $780 (your savings are dependent upon your new system's energy efficiency
rating).
Have a licensed air conditioning technician thoroughly check and
tune up your A/C system. In addition to checking your filter and condensation drainage
system, your condenser and evaporator coil, blower wheel, refrigerant charge, belts &
pulleys, lubrication, relays & contactors, thermostat and wiring should all be
carefully inspected. Regular annual service can extend the life of your equipment (and
potentially save substantial money by lowering your energy bills).
- Potential energy wasters:
 |
Improper freon level - up to 20% energy waste |
|
Improperly cleaned evaporator, condensor, blower -
up to 50% energy waste |
|
Improperly calibrated thermostat - up to 30%
energy waste |
Changing your (A/C) filters each month during the summer can make
a big difference in your A/C system’s operating efficiency (and reduce energy costs).
Use ceiling fans, and raise your thermostat to 78°. You’ll
still be comfortable and you’ll save up to 20% on cooling costs.
National statistics show that over 70% of all air conditioning and
compressor outages could be avoided if the equipment was regularly checked, adjusted,
calibrated and maintained by qualified technicians. With our combined 20+
years’ experience in repair, maintenance and installation of air conditioning
equipment, Performance Air is the only A/C company
you’ll ever need.|
