Keep Your Milwaukee Home Cool

It’s spring in the Milwaukee area, meaning you’ll need an energy efficient air conditioner. Although it may not feel like it, the brutal Wisconsin summer is just around the corner. Your HVAC system needs to be prepared to keep your home cool through air conditioner cleaning, filter replacement, HVAC system repair, or new air conditioning installation.

Old, power-hungry air conditioners and dirty filters lower the energy efficiency of your home. Quality Heating offers quality Milwaukee area air conditioner installation and repair services, saving you hundreds of dollars in cooling costs over the summer months. Here’s how you can breeze through the upcoming Wisconsin summer while remaining energy efficient:

Milwaukee Area HVAC Maintenance

Damaged air conditioner or ventilation systems can operate at lower efficiency or leak cold air away from the house. Your Milwaukee area HVAC system must be in top condition before your first summer electric bill arrives. Call the Milwaukee area HVAC maintenance experts at Quality Heating for a free consultation to avoid high energy bills, while keeping your home cool.

Replace Your HVAC System’s Air Filters

When you replace the dirty air filter, you not only save yourself from dust and allergies, you improve your air conditioner’s energy efficiency. Look at your air filter every 30 to 90 days to avoid dust and dirt buildup. The new air filter pays for itself because the AC unit doesn’t need to work as hard to push cool air into your home. Quality Heating HVAC system technicians will inspect your air conditioner and perform air filter replacement.

Clean Your Condenser Coils

Dust and dirt can collect on your air conditioning unit’s condenser coil, trapping heat and preventing it from radiating. When your condenser starts running hot, your air conditioner has to work harder to cool the air. This substantially lowers your air conditioning energy efficiency.

New Air Conditioning Unit Installation in the Milwaukee Area

Air conditioners have come a long way with energy efficiency due to technological progress and concern for the environment. Newer air conditioners are more efficient and easier to maintain. Your initial cost will be quickly offset by the reduction in monthly energy expenditure, and you won’t have to repair the new unit as often. Quality Heating’s air conditioning professionals will install an energy efficient air conditioning system in your home. We carry a wide assortment of high performance, energy efficient air conditioners and conduct expert installation.

Find the Right Air Conditioner Model

Undersized air conditioners won’t work on the hottest days, and may be energy inefficient. A properly selected and professionally installed air conditioning unit will keep your house cool without running 24/7. Larger air conditioners actually require less energy to cool the same amount of air. If your air conditioner is too large, the thermostat could turn it on and off quickly, which can damage air conditioning units as well as blast you with frigid air.

Consult a Quality Heating professional to size and install your new air conditioner. Quality Heating’s cooling specialists have the expertise to find the right air conditioning system for your home. We’ll help you choose an air conditioner from our extensive product list and install it the right way to keep your house cool throughout the summer.

When Summer Hits, Leave the Fan On

This sounds counter-intuitive, but leaving the fan on can decrease your overall power consumption. The fan uses less power than the condenser, so the longer you can keep the condenser off, the better. This is generally truer for dry weather than for humid weather.

Turn Up the Thermostat When You’re Not at Home

If you’re leaving the house for a while, especially if it’s for a few days, turn your thermostat up to 85 degrees as you’re going out the door. If you turn the air conditioner completely off you might melt something, but your possessions won’t be bothered by 85-degree heat. This is a great way to lower your energy bill without any real work.
