When I heard it start, I sort of stopped what I was doing.
Perhaps it was a mental note or something.
But the first time the air conditioner kicks on for the year always catches my attention. That was certainly the case this year. And every Spring, when the heat pump starts up around here, I know it’s far too early, but every year I realize it’s also mid-March because that’s what happens around here. In this area, my friend and I don’t get much cold in the winter. So I won’t even hear the residential heating and cooling for months. But now that the temperatures are rising and staying much higher, it’s time to plan my air conditioning strategy. I do not overthink the cooling aspect of residential heating and air conditioning. At the same time, I don’t want to overspend on cooling our house. I’ll be happy if I can find a happy medium. So, for the most part, I simply follow the steps, guidelines, and recommendations provided by the Heating and A/C dealer. All of this information from the Heating and A/C professionals is easily accessible online at the Heating and A/C dealer’s website. Typically, the first step is to have the air conditioner serviced. My pal and I believe in Heating and A/C maintenance in this house, and that’s where any air conditioning savings strategy begins. The heat pump must be ready to meet the high demand for cooling that comes with Summer in this region. With the air conditioning tune up, the heat pump is also set to run at peak efficiency. The rest is just making sure the house has a tight seal, that direct sun heating is managed, and that my friend and I stay consistent with temperature control settings.
