We take air conditioning efficiency seriously, and in this post we’re going to offer advice on how you can keep your AC operating at energy-saving levels over the coming summer, without sacrificing home comfort.
Introduction to Air Conditioning Efficiency
When it comes to keeping your home or business comfortable during the hottest months, air conditioning efficiency is key. An efficient system not only keeps your space cool but also helps reduce energy costs and supports better indoor air quality. In Fort Wayne, where the weather can swing from chilly winters to sweltering summers, having reliable equipment installed by a reputable company is essential for maintaining a consistent and comfortable indoor environment.
Regular maintenance, such as seasonal tune-ups and timely filter replacements, plays a major role in keeping your air conditioning system running smoothly. These simple steps can extend the life of your equipment, improve air quality, and help you avoid unexpected breakdowns. By investing in reliable equipment and working with trusted professionals, you can ensure your system delivers comfort and efficiency all season long, while also minimizing your environmental impact.
Professionally Maintain Your AC
Priority #1 is to have our professionals inspect and tune-up your cooling system before summer arrives. Our team of service professionals brings specialized expertise to ensure your system is ready for the season. We’re happy to do this, because we know the many benefits it provides. Not only will it help your air conditioner to keep its energy-efficient performance, it protects it from abrupt breakdowns and other malfunctions over the season, keeping your equipment running smoothly.
Change the Air Filter Regularly
A clogged filter is the simplest reason for an air conditioner to start to cost more to run, and it’s an easy problem to fix. And perhaps that’s why people often forget to do it. The air filter on your HVAC system keeps debris from the return air ducts from getting inside the AC cabinet. The debris in the filter will build up until it starts to block airflow, and that forces the blower fan motor to strain and work too hard. We recommend changing the filter every 1 to 3 months. Less expensive filters, like panel filters, should be changed monthly, while pleated filters can be changed every 2 or 3 months. Clean filters not only help your system run efficiently, but also improve indoor air quality to keep your family healthy.
Properly Manage the Thermostat
Haphazardly setting the thermostat up and down depending on how you feel is a recipe for an air conditioner wasting power. The recommendation from the Department of Energy is to place the thermostat at as high a temperature as is comfortable and let it stay there during the time people are at home at awake. Start at 78°F and make small adjustments to find an ideal comfort zone. This stable setting at a higher temperature removes extra strain on the compressor and requires the AC to run less often; the smaller the difference between the inside and outside temperature of a house, the slower the house gains heat. Proper thermostat management can significantly improve efficiency, helping your heating and air conditioning system use less energy and last longer. During the evenings, raise the temperature by 8–10°F.
Don’t Delay with Necessary Repairs
If maintenance discovered a repair need in your AC, or there’s a lingering problem from the last time you had the cooling system running regularly, schedule the work with professionals ASAP, our experienced team will handle the repairs efficiently and thoroughly. You never want to head into the hot weather with an air conditioner that has a problem, even an apparently minor one. These “minor” problems will cut down on efficiency, and may end up making the air conditioner break down, so it’s crucial to get the job done right the first time!

Best Equipment for Efficiency
Choosing the best equipment for your heating and cooling needs can make a significant difference in both comfort and energy savings. Comprehensive heating cooling services include installation, maintenance, and repair of HVAC systems such as furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, and ductless systems, ensuring year-round indoor comfort and energy efficiency. High-efficiency air conditioners with elevated SEER ratings, advanced heat pumps, and programmable thermostats are designed to deliver peak performance while keeping energy consumption in check. These options help reduce the risk of service emergencies and keep your comfort system running at its best.
If your furnace is aging, malfunctioning, or repairs are no longer cost-effective, furnace replacement may be necessary to ensure long-term comfort and improved energy savings, especially if the system is outdated. HVAC systems over 10-15 years old may show signs such as refrigerant leaks, loud noises, and persistent problems after basic checks. Mechanical failures of components like capacitors and motors often produce loud grinding or humming sounds. Frozen evaporator coils can result from low refrigerant levels or restricted airflow, indicated by visible ice formation.
A complete line of indoor comfort equipment, including humidifiers, ductless split systems, and air cleaners, can further enhance your indoor environment. By selecting the right combination of products for your unique needs, you can enjoy a comfortable home or business, lower utility bills, and a reduced environmental footprint.

Maintaining high indoor air quality is essential for keeping your family healthy and feeling comfortable year-round. Air conditioning and heating and air conditioning systems can be equipped with advanced air purification, filtration, humidification, and dehumidification solutions to help remove pet dander, dust, and other airborne contaminants. These improvements not only make your indoor environment healthier but also more pleasant to live or work in.
Regular maintenance, including tune-ups and thorough cleaning, is crucial for ensuring your equipment continues to provide clean, fresh air. By investing in a complete line of indoor comfort equipment and scheduling routine service, you can significantly improve air quality and reduce the risk of health issues.
