July in West Chester is peak summer, with long, hot, and often humid days. Your air conditioner works harder than ever to keep your home comfortable—but without proper care, this increased demand can lead to higher energy bills and unnecessary wear on your system.
At Aire Serv of West Chester, we help homeowners optimize their A/C performance so they can enjoy cool comfort without wasting energy or money.
1. Replace or Clean Your Air Filters
Dirty filters restrict airflow and force your system to work harder. This reduces cooling efficiency and increases energy costs.
Tip: Replace filters every 30–60 days during the busy summer months.
2. Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clear
Leaves, dirt, and debris around your condenser block airflow and reduce performance.
Tip: Maintain at least two feet of clearance around your outdoor unit and gently rinse off dirt when necessary.
3. Set Your Thermostat Strategically
Setting your thermostat too low doesn’t cool your home faster—it just runs your system longer and wastes energy.
Tip: Keep your thermostat at a comfortable 76–78°F and consider a programmable or smart thermostat for optimal control.
4. Seal Leaks and Insulate
Air escaping through ductwork, doors, or windows forces your A/C to work overtime.
Tip: Inspect your home for leaks, seal gaps, and ensure ducts are properly insulated.
5. Schedule Professional Maintenance
A seasonal tune-up ensures your system is clean, lubricated, and operating at peak efficiency. Professional inspections catch minor issues before they turn into costly repairs.
Tip: Book a July maintenance appointment to stay ahead of potential breakdowns.
Extra Energy-Saving Tips
- Use ceiling fans to circulate cool air.
- Close blinds or curtains during peak sunlight hours.
- Avoid using heat-generating appliances like ovens during the hottest part of the day.
