How to Get the Most From Your Air Conditioner

Your air conditioner works hard in Florida’s heat. Here are practical steps to get the most performance and efficiency out of your system.

Change Your Air Filter Regularly

A clogged filter restricts airflow and forces your system to work harder. Check your filter monthly and replace it as needed to maintain peak efficiency.

Keep the Area Around Your Outdoor Unit Clear

Ensure at least 2 feet of clearance around your outdoor condenser unit. Remove debris, overgrown plants, or anything that could restrict airflow to the unit.

Use a Programmable Thermostat

Set your thermostat higher when you’re away from home and cooler when you’re there. A programmable or smart thermostat does this automatically, saving energy without sacrificing comfort.

Schedule Annual Maintenance

An annual tune-up by a certified HVAC technician keeps your system running efficiently and catches small issues before they become costly repairs. Contact Air & Energy at 941-778-0773 to schedule AC maintenance in Bradenton.
