Maintenance Tips
The temperature
outside has not let up and we just want to
remind everyone of some tricks that can save
you money and help keep this property
working at its best. Please call us
when you want a new filter for your A/C and
we will come change it for you. Research
on Texas homes showed that summer AC cost
increases 12% for each degree the
thermostat is lowered below 80 degrees.
In summer, higher
thermostat settings cost less; lower
settings cost more. Set your thermostat
carefully!
Don't try
to speed-cool
at a very low temperature setting when you
arrive home from work or school. Choose your
normal evening setting, for example 78
degrees. Your AC cools just as fast set at
78 degrees as it does at 68 degrees.
Cool your house
to
78 degrees
or your highest comfortable temperature when
you are there and set to
80-83
degrees
when you're away.
If you have ceiling fans, run the fans and
the air conditioner at the same time but set
the air conditioner 2 or 3 degrees higher.
You'll feel just as cool, but your overall
cooling cost will be 20-30% lower!
*Always set the AC thermostat FAN selection
to "AUTO", never to "ON". This is
important: On AUTO, humidity is kept lower,
costs are much lower and comfort is higher.
