In many cases, an air conditioning system is taken for granted, receiving little or no maintenance unless the unit breaks down. If a system is neglected, there is a gradual loss of efficiency, which can add to operating costs without your knowledge.
Tuning up the air conditioning system, just as tuning up a car, can reduce the operating costs and prolong the life of the equipment. Before the hot weather arrives, schedule a tune-up with a service professional for your air conditioning system to make sure it is operating as efficiently as possible and that it has enough refrigerant to cool properly. Low refrigerant can make the unit run more often and could double your cooling costs. Have the professional inspect and, if necessary, oil fans and motors on the condensing unit and the inside evaporate unit.

Air Conditioners / Heat - Pumps:
Sizing is equally important for central air-conditioning systems, which need to be sized by professionals. If you have a central air system in your home, set the fan to shut off at the same time as the cooling unit (compressor). Use circulating fans in individual rooms if the rest of the home aren't being used or a more efficient application "Zoning Controlled Systems.
SEER is the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. SEER rates the efficiency during the cooling season. Look for a SEER rating of 13 or above.
Heating and cooling your home uses more energy and drains more energy dollars than any other system in your home. Typically, 44% of your utility bill goes for heating and cooling. All major appliances including gas furnaces, boilers, air conditioners and heat pumps sold in California meet the Title-24 energy efficiency "standards." If you are thinking about purchasing a new central furnace, Please give us a call, we can help you on your HVAC project.

| Los Angeles Area Cooling Tips:
· Whole house fans help cool your home by pulling cool air through the house and exhausting warm air through the attic. They are effective when operated at night and when the outside air temperature is cooler than the inside.
· Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible in the summer. The less difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower your overall cooling bill will be.
· Don't set your thermostat at a colder temperature setting than normal when you turn on your air conditioner. It will not cool your home any faster and could result in excessive cooling and therefor unnecessary expense.
· Set the fan speed on high except in very humid weather. When it's humid set the fan speed on low. You'll get better cooling.
· Consider ceiling fans to spread the cooled air more effectively through your home without greatly increasing your power use.
· Don't place lamps, stereo epuipment, TV sets, or Heat generating equipment near your air conditioning thermostat.
· Plant trees or shrubs to shade air-conditioning units but not to block the airflow. A Air Conditioning or Condensing unit operating in the shade uses as much as 10% less electricity than the same one operating in the sun.

| Remember to clean the filters every month and the coils and fins once a year. Clean filters keep dirt out of the return air duct vent and out of your air conditioning system. If dirt gets into the system, the system doesn't run as efficiently, and that costs you money. A dirty filter that causes a 10% reduction in airflow can increase operating costs by 11%.
*Based on 2800 annual cooling hours, 3-ton (36,000 BTUH) A/C, and 9 cents per KWH.

No matter what kind of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system you have in your house, you can save money and increase comfort by properly maintaining and upgrading your equipment. Remember, though, an energy efficient furnace or air-conditioner alone will not have as great an impact on your energy bills as using the whole house approach. By combining proper equipment maintenance and upgrades with appropriate insulation, weatherization and thermostat setting, you can cut your energy bills in half.
