The sun is burning everything down, or at least that’s what it feels like. It’s really hot when it’s not raining though. It’s a Big Emergency if the AC is not working for a while, we are on call with anyone who could come and take a look at it at the earliest. You shouldn’t be surprised to know that cooling and heating eat up around 40% of your energy bill. So, if you haven’t yet, plan and make sure that you have an energy efficient HVAC system. Here are some tips that can help you in getting an energy efficient AC system.
-
Energy Efficiency Rating
Now, every electrical appliance comes with an energy start rating. So before going ahead with the brand or the suggestion, do check for the stars on the AC system.
-
Energy Consumption
Every energy star label has the energy consumption written on it. Go through the labels of different models to see the expected energy consumption of each unit. It will also help you analyze your yearly energy bill. So choose accordingly.
-
The Size Matters
Make sure that you are choosing AC as per the size of the room or area that you want to cool. Some people only have an AC vent in the bedrooms, but they calculate the tonnage of the AC based on the built up size of the house. That would result in purchasing a bigger unit consuming more energy as compared to the size of the room. If you just go to the AC vendor with the built up area of the house, they are going to use one ton for every 400 sq ft. So you need to ensure that you are analyzing your need properly and then purchasing the right size of the AC.
-
Installing Thermostat
Location of the thermostat is equally important as its working. In a large room, make sure that the thermostat is neither near the door nor near the AC system’s vent. In both conditions there are chances that it would behave abnormally. Also, make sure that the automatic function of the thermostat is working, so that it cuts off the AC when the temperature is reached. All this will help you save energy.
We hope that with these tips, it becomes easier for you to select the right HVAC system for yourself. For more assistance in getting an energy efficient AC system, contact a trusted AC vendor who can help you out in the process.
