Central air conditioning isn’t just something that’s “nice to have” in any area of Florida. It’s an absolute necessity. Of course, by now, you’re probably tired of using yours. Not because it doesn’t provide comfort, but because it’s so dang expensive, right? After all, HVAC use accounts for about half of all utility costs. It makes sense you’d like to use less energy in order to save money. What if we told you there was a way to do so without sacrificing comfort?
Actually, there are a number of ways to do so without sacrificing comfort! All it takes is boosting the efficiency of your central air conditioning system. Read on as we tell you how to do just that.
Air conditioning in St. Augustine, FL
It’s a given—homeowners all throughout Florida want to do everything they can to use their air conditioners as efficiently as possible, and subsequently spend as little as possible on their cooling costs. Nobody wants to pay more than necessary to cool their home, after all.
We are well into the throes of summer, and as any homeowner in our area knows these temperatures are going to last a long while. It’s vital, then, that you have a fully functional and efficiently operating air conditioner.
The short answer to this is, “no!” Well, okay, maybe it’s not that simple. If your air conditioner has completely broken down to the point that it’s beyond repair, then it is too late for maintenance. However, you can avoid this with consistent tune-ups, no matter the time of the year.
If you’ve lived in Florida for even just a year, then you know the heavy workout your air conditioner gets, especially in the peak of summer. Fortunately, these systems are very durable and designed to handle the heat—when they’re cared for as they should be.
If you think the only reason you should change your air filter is due to the allergens and particles in your indoor air, you’re only partially right.
Air conditioners are fairly quiet systems—at least in the last handful of years they’ve been manufactured to operate as quietly as possible, especially if you have an inverter drive central air conditioner. However, no cooling system will ever be silent—you’ll always hear the outdoor unit cycling on and off, and you’ll never miss the whoosh of air coming through your room vents.
Also referred to as the ductless mini-split, the ductless system is known for its efficiency, efficacy, and space-saving nature. They provide residents throughout St. Augustine and beyond with year-round comfort, all with just the flip of a switch—something we’ll expand on later in this post.
