There are many homeowners that know what their bills are and what the costs are to heat and cool the house. During the winter months the air conditioner is not being used but the heater is. Most people in Las Vegas, Nevada have a lower energy bill in the winter than the do in the summer because of this. The summer months means that the air conditioner is being used and the hotter the day the more the AC has to be used. The great thing is that you just have to program your AC units thermostat and it will tell the unit when it is needed and how long to cool the house.

Central Air Conditioner Maintenance

If you want to keep your bills in check and you want to avoid overpaying for things then it is a good idea to care for your AC unit. There are some people that think that the AC unit can work year after year with no work or maintenance. The problem is that it might work but you will start to notice that it is not as efficient as it usually is and you will see the change in your energy bill. The unit has to be able to function smoothly and that can only happen when it is maintained. The unit is meant to last many years but it will only work smoothly if it is maintained. There are parts of the unit that need to be cleaned and lubricated to ensure that they are working. There are also small parts that may need to be repaired or replaced and they are found during your routine maintenance. When you skip your AC maintenance you will surely start to see an increase in your energy bills. It is best to have your unit maintained on a regular basis.

Replacement of Leaking AC Condenser Coils

The unit relies on the coils to remove the hot air from the house and send the cooled air in its place. The coils need to be clean and in good working condition. If they are damaged at all the unit will need to work overtime to try and cool the house down. If you see spike you want to make sure that you have your coils checked.

Change Air Filters

You also might not realize that the filters play a role in the efficiency of the unit. The filters need to be replaced on a regular basis. They can collect dirt and dust and become clogged not allowing air to flow freely and this will in turn have an impact on your energy bills.
