In Lakeland, FL, the Summer seasons are especially long, hot plus sticky, however the heat plus humidity are brutal, and daytime hot plus cold temperatures respectfully soar into the nineties, plus my good friend and I rely on the air conditioning for a minimum of eight straight months… My electric bills are a big part of the house budget; I continually search for up-to-date options to trim costs.
I spent a small fortune on an industry-leading, Energy Star rated air conditioning with a 26 SEER.
The system features variable-speed operation, which allows it to adapt output to the exact needs of the living environment, then rather than run at maximum speed until achieving the thermostat setting plus then shutting off completely, the cooling system adjusts in tiny one percent increments somewhere between forty plus one hundred percent capacity. The longer run times plus lower speeds reduces energy consumption plus costs, however plus, the system has more time to filter out air contaminants plus manage excess humidity. To ensure the cooling system continues to operate at peak reliability plus energy efficiency, I am conscientious about replacing air filters every month. I have signed up for a service plant that includes a comprehensive diagnostic testing, cleaning plus adjustment from a licensed Heating as well as Air Conditioning specialist. I also schedule air duct testing every other year. To lessen demands on the air conditioning, I keep the blinds closed during the morning. I rarely use the oven plus keep the lights off! Just recently, I installed ceiling fans in most of the rooms. They are good plus also help to improve comfort. The cans encourage the heat up plus out, creating a cooling effect.
