Summer has finally arrived bringing with it all the usual concerns for keeping your facilities cool. During the summer your air conditioner helps you provide a comfortable environment, but it comes at a cost pulling at your purse strings consuming a lot of energy.
Quick Tips to Reduce Your Energy Bill This Summer
Replace Old Systems
Take a good hard look at your existing systems and answer a few critical questions.
- Has your facility or occupancy out-grown your existing cooling system?
- Is your cooling system old and straining to function properly?
- Has your energy consumption increased as your equipment has aged?
- Does your current cooling system break down requiring expensive repairs frequently?
Added Features
Are there upgrades to your system available that will offer you more precise control and greater energy savings? Adding smart controls and other high tech features can save you a lot of money by allowing you to set desired temperatures by time.
Clean Filters & Perform Regular Maintenance
Replacing air filters regularly and keeping up with maintenance for your cooling systems will result in longer life and lower energy costs.
Add A Dehumidifier To The Mix
Your cooling system will operate more efficiently when working in conjunction with a dehumidifier to remove excess humidity from the air. Dry air feels cooler which results in lower demand on your cooling system.
Create A Zoned HVAC System
Not all rooms have the same cooling requirements. Large office spaces with many heat generating pieces of equipment like computers and printers, have different cooling requirements than a smaller meeting room with no heat generating office equipment. By implementing temperature zones you can reduce your energy use and keep your facility comfortable.
