Clean or Replace Filters at least once per month.
Dirty filters can make your system work harder and run longer than necessary. Dirty filters also allow the build up of mold making cleaning more difficult. You should consider installing high efficiency filters to keep internal parts of your equipment clean and maximize efficiency and air distribution.
Shade outside Air Conditioning or Heat Pump units:
Units that are shaded from direct sunlight by trees or other manmade contraptions work more efficiently and use up to 10% less electricity. When shading, keep in mind that the unit does need a free flow of air around it for proper air transfer. Also, keep debris and high grass away from the outside unit. These things block the air flow and will make the unit work harder and run longer.
Annual Maintenance:
Contact Appleton Campbell and schedule maintenance check ups for your heating and cooling systems. Keeping your systems in optimal working condition will reduce energy costs and extend the system’s service life. Your systems indoor and outdoor coils need to be cleaned to also extend the life of your system and provide cleaner air for you to breath.
Air Duct System: What you can not see may be costing you a lot of money.
Improperly designed or installed duct systems will reduce comfort, compromise indoor air quality, and increase run times of equipment, costing you more money. The smallest of holes or improperly sealed duct systems can account for as much as 30% in lost energy.
Some of the more common duct problems include (1) improperly insulated or uninsulated ducts in attics or vented crawl spaces, (2) ducts with holes o ducts that are disconnected or crushed, and lastly (3) ducts that lead to nowhere and unsealed duct connections.
Homes that are not equipped with a proper return air duct system will create an imbalance of internal air pressure which significantly increases the cost of operation and decreases indoor comfort.
Resolving duct system problems is often more than slapping on some duct tape. It is delicate, precise work best left to the system professionals at Appleton Campbell, who can provide you with a comprehensive inspection of your duct system.
Upgrade Your System:
New high efficiency furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps use up to 50% less energy than older models for the same run time. Appleton Campbell can replace your existing system with a new high efficiency system and even offer the most efficient geothermal heat pump system that can be retrofitted into your existing home.
