Be An Energy Star With A Great Cooling System
If you are looking for a more inexpensive way to cool your home, you are not alone. In order to truly realize your money saving potential, we recommend you undertake the following advice.
1. Your Cooling System Must Suit Your Home
For you and your family, maintaining the right temperature is very important. With global warming on the rise, it has become increasingly difficult to cool your home at an affordable price.
2. Checklist At Home
- Service your central air conditioning unit yearly - Install a programmable thermostat - Air ducts need to be cleaned regularly - Turn lights off when you leave your home
3. Home Cooling Systems
You can slash your energy bills by as much as forty percent simply by changing your furnace or central air unit. Seemingly these will work but in actutly they are the most expensive to maintain. The most essential thing to remember about cooling your home is air. Hot air rises, so cooling a basement or an apartment on the bottom floor of a two-story two-tennant suite will cost less than had you taken the top floor.
4. Insulation Is The Key
The older homes should be carefully inspected by a profession. If you are going to remodel your house anyways, you should really consider installing a cental air system. In particular, check your walls for the appropriate insulation and make sure windows are double paned.
5. Portable AC
or portable A/C is an air conditioner on wheels, that can be easily transported inside the house or office. They are currently commercially produced and sold in the U.S. with capacities of 6000 to 14000 BTU/h (1800 to 4100 watts output), with and without heaters, by companies like EdgeStar, DeLonghi, Sunpentown, Fujitronic and others.
Portable A/C comes in two forms, split and monoblock (has one or two 4? or 6? air ducts which are vented to outside). The single duct monoblock unit is often ineffective because air is pumped out of the room, this air is then replaced by hot air from outside reducing efficiency, simply attach a box to the back of the unit where the air is drawn over the condenser and buy some additional ducting and you have converted your unit to twin pipe, this will be able to build up a much greater temperature difference than a single pipe unit. Cooling power figures should be regarded suspiciously; it is best to look at the input power and the heat transfer figures.
