Air Conditioning in El Paso

Energy Saving Cooling Tips

Did you know that air conditioning in El Paso (and heating) accounts for more than half of the energy spent in a typical home? This makes it the largest energy expense for most homes.  Our technicians at Mechanical Technologies enjoy helping El Paso families and businesses save on energy costs every year with routine maintenance and innovative products. Here are some serious energy saving tips that can put more money in your wallet and that means a bigger smile on your face:

• Set your programmable thermostat as high as comfortable in the summer and as well as when you’re sleeping or away from home.
• Clean air ducts regularly to rid your home cooling system of build-up and debris, which inhibits adequate airflow in the home or office.
• Clean or replace filters
on air conditioners once a month or as recommended by the type of air conditioning system you own and the technician.
• Invest in heat resistant black out curtains for the area of the home that     is exposed with sunlight for the majority of the daytime hours and keep shades and curtains closed during the day during the summer months.

•   Turn off kitchen, bath, and other exhaust fans within 20 minutes        after you are done cooking or bathing; when replacing exhaust fans, consider installing high-efficiency, low-noise models.

Implementing these small changes into your home and lifestyle, you will be able to see a significant difference in the energy your home expends in cooling. Begin to see the difference in your utility bill when you keep your air conditioning systems running smoothly.
