Keep Your Oklahoma City Home Cool Without Breaking the Bank

Published on August 10, 2015
Don't Let your AC Break the Bank.jpg

When it comes to the Oklahoma City climate, it can be difficult to manage keeping your home cool without spending a lot. According to the Department of Energy, the average homeowner will spend about half their energy bill on their heating and cooling needs, around $875 a year. However, if you’d like to potentially reduce that number, it may be time to consider scheduling air conditioner service and a consultation to talk through a potential upgrade for your home’s air conditioning system.

In a recent USA Today article, Department of Energy Deputy Assistant Secretary Kathleen Hogan says “Residents should strongly consider replacing a central air more than a dozen years old. Switching it out for one that carries an ENERGY STAR® rating could pare your cooling costs by roughly 30 percent.”

Any savings will be dependent on the age of the air conditioner, but in general, getting a new air conditioner takes strategic advantage of the technological improvements made that make heating and cooling equipment more efficient.

Of course, newer, energy efficient air conditioners may help take a chunk out of your energy costs, but don’t lessen the importance of routine air conditioner service. Hogan and Dan DiClerico, senior editor of Consumer Reports also remind us that cleaning and changing air filters can drastically improve the performance of your air conditioner.

Also noted as critical keys to keeping your home cool without spending a lot:

  • Add insulation to your attic
  • Make sure your home is well-sealed
  • Seal your ductwork to make sure the cool air is going to the right places
  • Set your thermostat to 78 degrees Fahrenheit; 26 degrees Celsius
  • Close vents in rooms that are unoccupied
  • Use a ceiling fan in the area you are in 

Whether you’re hoping to set up air conditioner service or want to learn more about your replacement air conditioner choices, give the team at Gordon's Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning a call at 405-432-2197 or set up an appointment with us through our online scheduler.
