Air Conditioning Secret Revealed
Se Abla Espanol
As warm weather approaches, it?s a good idea to tune up
your home?s air conditioner or heat pump. Some tips that
should help save money and extend the life of the cooling
equipment follow.
Provide good air flow to outdoor cooling equipment
The outdoor unit of the air conditioner contains a condensing
coil, a type of heat exchanger which depends on large
quantities of air flow to dump heat outside your home. Keep
this equipment clear of tall grass, leaves and other debris.
Do Not enclose the outdoor unit with solid fencing or dense
shrubs, or place the unit under a deck. Provide at least 2 feet
of clearance on all sides of the equipment and 5 feet of
clearance at the top.
Be certain that a clothes dryer is not vented within 10 feet of
the outdoor unit. The lint from the dryer will cling to the
condensing coil and lower the efficiency of the equipment and
its service life.
Keep condensing coil clean
The condensing coil should be cleaned every year or so. This
cleaning is usually a part of a regular service contract. The coil
is easily accessible and must be chemically cleaned. If the fins
in the heat exchanger are bent, they should be straightened
with a comb.
Keep the indoor coil clean
The indoor coil, or evaporator coil, is located inside the
heat pump or air conditioner cabinet. All the air from the home
flows across this coil to be cooled in summer.
When air conditioning, the indoor coil is damp, attracts dirt
and can harbor mold and other contaminants. A dirty indoor
coil endangers your family?s health, wastes energy and cuts the
capacity of the cooling equipment.
Dirty indoor coils are notorious for reducing the air flow
through the equipment. For each 10% reduction in air flow, the
efficiency of the equipment drops about 5%. Reduced air flow
means less cooling and makes it difficult to maintain a house?s
comfort in hot weather.
The coil should be cleaned every few years, depending on
how often the system operates, the efficiency of the filter at
trapping dirt, and the airtightness of the ductwork. Leaky ducts
often draw in dirt which can accumulate on the indoor coil, so
seal the seams in your home?s ductwork.
Indoor coils are often dirty because they are hard to reach
and therefore seldom cleaned. Frequently a service technician
will have to cut into the ductwork in order to inspect the
indoor coil. The coil should be cleaned with a chemical
solution and a soft brush. Typically it takes a couple of hours
for a technician to clean the coil and may cost from $50 to
$200, depending on accessibility.
In addition to cleaning the indoor coil, have the technician
check the blower. Usually, the blower is readily accessible and
can be easily removed and cleaned.
Operate the cooling equipment wisely
To get the most out of your heat pump or air conditioner,
for the least cost, operate it efficiently. Start with the thermostat.
A higher setting saves money. Try keeping the room air
temperature at 80 to 85 degrees and using ceiling and room
fans to circulate the air to maintain comfort. Each degree you
raise the thermostat can save up to 5% on cooling costs. Any
time you will be away from the house for a few hours, be sure
to raise the thermostat setting. You will save money and it
should only take a few minutes for the cooling equipment to
bring the temperature back to a comfortable level after you
return.
Shade windows
Over 20% of your air conditioning bill can be due to
sunlight streaming through unshaded windows. Keep window
curtains drawn during the day to block sunlight. Keeping east
and west windows shaded is particularly important as they get
the most sunlight in summer.
Solar shade screens are another effective way to shade
windows. These fiberglass insect screens have a special weave
that blocks sunlight. They can be installed in standard screen
frames and must be placed on the outside of the window glass.
The shade screens are a little darker than conventional insect
screening. Some people appreciate the increased privacy they
offer.
It?s not just the heat? it?s the humidity
Reducing moisture levels inside the home can save on
cooling costs and improve comfort. Air conditioners and heat
pumps dehumidify the air as well as cool it. Much of the
excess humidity inside the home comes from humid outdoor air
leaking inside. Sealing unwanted air leaks, such as around holes for
plumbing and wiring, helps lower interior moisture levels and reduce
air conditioning costs. For some houses, air leaks can contribute to
over 30% of cooling costs.
Simple check on cooling efficiency
One easy way to determine if your air conditioner or heat
pump needs a tune-up is to check the difference in temperature
between the air exiting the supply ducts and that drawn into
the return ducts. You will need an accurate thermometer for
the test and to operate the cooling equipment for at least 15
minutes when the outdoor temperature is above 80 degrees.
While the unit is running, measure the temperature of the air at
a return and a supply register. These registers should be the
ones closest to the inside cooling equipment. The temperature
difference should be between 14 and 20 degrees. A smaller
difference indicates time for a service call.
