In Dallas, Texas, over HALF of your electric bill is just to cool your home!

1 - Keep the air filters clean! Check them monthly. Use your electric bill as your monthly reminder. A dirty or clogged air filter causes the system to run longer and that runs up your bill. Buy a case of air filters and keep them on hand.

We should perform seasonal maintenance in the spring and fall. This assures peak performance and longer unit life.

Test for air duct leakage. You only need this done once. The EPA recommends the air ducts be sealed to reduce energy use by minimizing heat transfer and air conditioned air from going into the attic space.

Chemically clean the outdoor and indoor air conditioning units. This should be done when recommended by the service technician usually every 2-5 years depending on conditions. This restores cooling efficiency and prolongs unit life.

2 - Keep bedroom doors open whenever possible. Especially during the day when the kids are gone. Don't close any room air vents. The better the air can circulate throughout your home the more efficiently and evenly it cools.

3 - Close the window blinds and drapes on the sunny side on your home, especially in the afternoon. Sunny windows allow heat to fill a room in just minutes!

4 - Don't make big changes in the temperature setting. If you want to raise the temperature when you leave home during the day, only raise the temperature setting 3 degrees. Large temperature swings cause the system to run for extended periods without cycling off. This causes extra wear on the unit without saving you any noticeable savings.
