FAQs

The optimal temperature for your home during summer is 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Research indicates that our bodies are most comfortable at one or two degrees below this temperature. It's important to note that this temperature setting is recommended only when you're present in the house. To reduce cooling costs, it's advisable to maintain a slightly higher temperature when the house is unoccupied during the day.

Turning your air conditioner to its lowest setting will not significantly accelerate the cooling process in your home. This is a common misconception. Attempting this may result in excessive cooling and increased energy consumption. Air conditioning systems are designed to operate continuously until the desired temperature is reached. Once achieved, the unit will shut off and only restart when temperature adjustment is necessary.

It is recommended to replace your air filters at the beginning of each new season. This timing coincides with periods of increased usage for your HVAC equipment, making it an ideal time for filter replacement.

While seasonal changes are generally recommended for filter replacement, several factors can necessitate more frequent changes. These include health conditions, the type of air filter used, indoor air quality, the presence of pets, the number of occupants in the home, and nearby construction activities.

For the winter season, maintaining your thermostat at 70 degrees Fahrenheit is considered ideal for comfort and energy efficiency.
