While we cannot control the seemingly ever-rising costs of energy, we can control how we use that energy to keep our homes cool, crisp, and refreshing. And that\u2019s what today\u2019s post will be about. There is a great variety of ways you can use your AC efficiently, and we\u2019ll only be able to touch on the topic only briefly today. If you\u2019re in need of professional air conditioning services in Lansdale, PA, do not hesitate to get in touch with one of the friendly technicians at Carney Plumbing, Heating &amp; Cooling today.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Clean and replace your air filter on a regular basis:<\/b>\u00a0We can\u2019t emphasize this simple task enough. Too many perfectly good ACs are ruined every year because of homeowner neglect. While you rely on the professional skills of your technician for the majority of maintenance duties, cleaning and replacing your air filter is one of the few things you <i>can<\/i> do, and it\u2019s critical to the longevity of your AC as well as to the energy efficiency with which it operates. A dirty or clogged air filter can neither prevent the accumulation of dust and debris on sensitive mechanical components nor allow cool air to pass uninhibited.<\/li>\n<li><b>Enroll in a preventive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carneyphc.com\/air-conditioning\/air-conditioning-maintenance\">maintenance program<\/a>:<\/b>\u00a0Prevention is incredibly important as a way to stave off unnecessary repairs and premature replacement. Routine professional maintenance includes comprehensive inspection to recognize problems before they start, cleaning to ensure that your system operates well, and adjustments to ensure that it\u2019s operating efficiently and safely.<\/li>\n<li><b>Install a programmable thermostat:<\/b>\u00a0If you have a manual thermostat, you\u2019re missing out on the benefits of a digital programmable model. It allows you to boost energy efficiency without sacrificing comfort when you create a schedule of cooling that works around your lifestyle. Automatic, gradual cooling also cuts down on drastic manual changes that can cause wasteful energy consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for more ways to make your air conditioning in Lansdale, PA more energy efficient, <strong>call Carney Plumbing, Heating &amp; Cooling today.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most frequently asked questions we get during the hot summer months concerns how to use your air conditioning in Lansdale, PA more efficiently.
