How to Help Your Air Conditioner Run More Efficiently

July 10, 2015

Air conditioners are possibly the greatest asset of a home during hot months. They provide comfort when the heat in Oklahoma City is at its fieriest and helps keep your environment just as you’d like it. So how can you help your air conditioner run better?

The answer is first and foremost premier air conditioner service that touts a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. And while we certainly wouldn’t argue the value of professional quality air conditioner service, there are a couple things you can take a look at yourself.

At Gordon's Service Experts, we think it’s great that you want to save money on your monthly energy costs, which is why we put together this list for you to consider:

  • Swap your home’s air filter. It’s probably the most referenced homeowner task from heating and cooling companies, but it really does make a huge difference. Dirty air filters block air flow and make it tough for your air conditioner to do its job – which means your comfort suffers.
  • Seal your home’s ducts. According to the folks at ENERGY STAR, typical homes can lose between 20 and 30 percent of the air that passes through them because of duct leaks and other duct problems.
  • Open your vents. It’s an awfully common mistake among homeowners, but keeping rooms shut and vents shut in seldom used rooms doesn’t always mean you save money. Keeping all of your vents open helps the system accomplish its job because airflow isn’t being prevented.
  • Air conditioner service. Pros recommend that you arrange up air conditioner service with Gordon's Service Experts. Any time you have air conditioner issues and your comfort is being sacrificed, call in the experts.

If you’ve checked all of these tips and you’re still running in to issues with your home’s heating and cooling system, it’s probably time for air conditioner service. Give Gordon's Service Experts in Oklahoma City a call at 405-432-2197 or set up an appointment online to get it taken care of.
