As summer winds down, many Austell homeowners are still relying heavily on their air conditioning systems to stay comfortable. But running the A/C nonstop can take a toll—not only on energy bills but also on the system’s longevity. Hammond Services is helping local residents beat the heat while saving money with a few smart, end-of-summer cooling tips.
With average temperatures still high well into September, many households are tempted to keep their thermostats low all day long. However, small adjustments to airflow, thermostat habits, and system use can lead to noticeable savings without sacrificing comfort.
Hammond Services recommends the following energy-saving tips:
-
Use Ceiling Fans to Boost Airflow Fans don’t lower the temperature, but they create a wind-chill effect that makes rooms feel cooler. Set ceiling fans to rotate counterclockwise in the summer to push air downward. This allows you to raise the thermostat by a few degrees without feeling the difference.
-
Adjust Thermostat Settings Based on Time of Day Avoid setting the thermostat too low in hopes of cooling your home faster—it doesn’t work and only wastes energy. Instead, aim for 76–78°F during the day when you’re home, and bump it up a few degrees when away. Smart thermostats make these adjustments easier and more efficient.
-
Give the System a Break When You Can Take advantage of cooler mornings and evenings by opening windows for natural ventilation when outdoor conditions allow. This reduces strain on your HVAC system and lets fresh air circulate through the home.
-
Keep Filters Clean and Vents Clear Dirty filters and blocked vents make your system work harder than it needs to. Change your filters regularly and ensure nothing is obstructing airflow throughout your home.
-
Schedule a Quick System Checkup End-of-season maintenance can help catch small issues before they become expensive repairs. A quick tune-up can also improve efficiency and extend the life of your unit.
