You can reduce your AC bill by ensuring that your air conditioner is running as efficiently as possible.

To guarantee your air conditioner is in top working condition, you’ll want to do some AC maintenance before starting up the unit in the summer. Make sure you clean the inside and outside of your central AC unit and change or clean the filters. This will ensure that airflow is not being restricted, causing your AC to have to work harder. Also, consider checking the concrete slab that your AC unit is sitting on. It should be level. Check your condensation line and the insulation on your coolant lines to ensure everything is in good working condition.

To further reduce your AC bill, consider these energy-saving tips:

• Upgrade to a high-efficiency AC unit
• Install a programmable thermostat
• Keep your thermostat at a constant temperature
• Use fans to help circulate cool air
• Keep your air ducts clean
• Install energy-efficient windows
• Keep your blinds and windows closed during the day

Proper AC installation is also important. If your air conditioner is not installed properly, this can lead to reduced efficiency and a higher utility bill.

Replacing an old air conditioner involves more than just swapping out the unit. Several parts of your home’s cooling system may need to be inspected, repaired, or upgraded to ensure your new AC runs efficiently and reliably. This can include:

• Ductwork: Is it properly sized, sealed, and in good condition?

• Insulation & Windows: Poor insulation or drafty windows can affect performance.

• Refrigerant Lines: Existing piping may need to be replaced or flushed, depending on the type of refrigerant.

• Condensate Drainage: Proper drainage is crucial to avoid water damage.

• Electrical Wiring: The wiring and breaker may need updating to meet current safety codes.

• Grilles & Registers: These may need to be cleaned, repaired, or resized.

Does the size of AC unit effect performance? Yes! 

If the unit is too large, the space gets too cool and humidity is not removed. You’ll feel cold and clammy. Plus the frequent cycling can wear out your AC Unit faster since the hardest load on your AC is when you start it up. You can also freeze up the AC unit if the air flow is too low and the unit can not be kept from freezing up. Freezing up of a central AC system is a recipe for disaster on the HVAC equipment.

You do not need a ductless unit in every room of your home. However, a single wall-mounted ductless unit can only cool one room or unobstructed zone (with good airflow). Thus, most Edmonton homeowners opt to install a wall-mounted mini split AC unit in each main living space they want to keep cool.

Keep in mind that one outdoor ductless condenser unit can support multiple (up to four) indoor units. Thus, one outdoor unit and four indoor units would cool four rooms.

Not sure how many ductless mini split air conditioner units you need or where they should be located? The ductless air conditioner installation experts at ProSolutions Inc. can help. Our professional HVAC technicians will help you decide how many indoor units you need, where to install them, and what size and model of mini split AC will work best for your Edmonton home.
