Tips to Improve Central Air Conditioning System Efficiency

Top Tips to Maximize Efficiency in Your Central Air Conditioning System In Los Angeles, a well-maintained air conditioning system is essential to stay comfortable during the long, hot summer months. At MightyServ, we’re committed to helping you get the most out of your central AC with strategies that balance efficiency and performance. Our expert tips will help you maximize AC performance, so your HVAC system keeps up with the demands of LA’s intense heat. 1. Replace or Clean Filters for Optimal Airflow and Indoor Air Quality The air filter in your AC system plays a crucial role in trapping dust, allergens, and other contaminants. When filters become clogged, airflow is restricted, forcing your system to work harder and increasing energy consumption. For standard 1-inch filters, we recommend checking them monthly and replacing them every 1-3 months during peak cooling season. If your system uses a MERV-rated filter, our team can help ensure it provides optimal filtration and airflow without overloading your unit. 2. Fine-Tune Your Thermostat Settings with Smart Technology Setting your thermostat strategically can save energy without sacrificing comfort. Smart thermostats adapt to your daily routines and adjust the temperature accordingly, helping your system run more efficiently. Studies show

How to Determine Proper Air Conditioning Unit Size

When it comes to air conditioning systems, bigger isn’t always the better. Not only is buying an air conditioner with a higher capacity unnecessarily more costly upfront, it can also fail too quickly due to electric control failure. To narrow your best options down and minimize your costs, use these tips when shopping around for air conditioners: Know the Math Find out the total square footage of your space and then multiply it by 25 British Thermal Units (BTUs) to determine the apt unit capacity. AC sizes are also referred to in “tons;” one ton is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs. Determining the ideal air-conditioning power of a unit based on room size won’t give you a definitive answer, but it’s a good estimate to start at. Think About Heat Sources Realize that the sun and home items can neutralize the cooling ability of your AC. The more sources of heat that your space is exposed to, the greater capacity you need from your equipment. Generally, shaded rooms have less air conditioning needs than sunny ones. In addition to appliances, traditional lights, and windows, people also generate heat. Consider Future Home Improvements Buy an air conditioning unit with the future in mind.
