When it comes to your HVAC system, your primary goal this summer is probably to keep your living spaces comfortable without needing to crank up your air conditioner. This is a simple enough task — you just need to deal with some of the challenges that can make summer home cooling inefficient. The trusted HVAC repair and maintenance expert in the area, ACS Air Conditioning Systems, shares what you need to know.
1. Air Leakage
Did you know that air leakage can account for up to 50% of heating and cooling loss in your home? Cool air may escape your living space through gaps in your doors, windows and walls, compromising indoor temperature by creating “hot spots” in some areas of your home. To avoid this issue, you’ll want to have these gaps sealed.
2. Duct Leakage
Your AC distributes cool air throughout your home via a network of ducts. If these ducts become leaky due to failing seals or holes, your cooling system will have a harder time cooling your rooms evenly. If you suspect leakage in your ductwork, call ACS Air Conditioning Systems. We’re not just your go-to expert in HVAC installation; we can also handle your duct sealing needs. Let our certified technicians seal the openings in your ductwork and ensure your AC’s efficient cooling performance.
3. Clogged Air Filters
Dust builds up in and around your air filters over time. Clogged filters hamper the way conditioned air is distributed throughout your home. For this reason, make a habit of cleaning or replacing your air filters regularly. You’ll find that this not only helps maintain a consistent temperature inside your home but also improves indoor air quality.
