With temperatures rising and humidity levels climbing, summers in Mobile County can quickly send your energy bills soaring. Your air conditioning system is essential for staying cool—but running it day and night doesn’t have to drain your bank account.
At Peaden, we know that efficient cooling starts with smart HVAC solutions. Our expert team—known as the Peaden Pros—is here to help you enjoy a comfortable home while keeping your energy bills in check. Here are several effective ways an HVAC company like Peaden can help you save money on cooling this summer.
1. Schedule a Professional AC Tune-Up
One of the best investments you can make before the summer heat sets in is a pre-season AC tune-up. A well-maintained air conditioner runs more efficiently, cools more effectively, and uses less energy.
During a tune-up, the Peaden Pros will:
- Clean the evaporator and condenser coils
- Check refrigerant levels
- Inspect electrical components
- Lubricate moving parts
- Test thermostat function
- Clear the condensate drain
Even minor issues, like a dirty filter or low refrigerant, can reduce your AC’s efficiency and increase cooling costs. Preventive maintenance ensures your system is operating at peak performance—saving you money every time it runs.
2. Seal and Insulate Ductwork
Leaky or poorly insulated ductwork is a hidden energy-waster in many homes. If cooled air escapes into your attic or crawl space before reaching your living areas, your AC has to work harder to keep you comfortable.
Our technicians can inspect your ductwork for leaks, gaps, and damaged insulation. Sealing and insulating your ducts can dramatically improve system efficiency and ensure your air conditioner delivers cool air where you need it—not where you don’t.
3. Recommend the Right HVAC System for Your Home
If your air conditioner is more than 10–15 years old, it may be time to consider an upgrade. Today’s high-efficiency systems use significantly less energy while providing better cooling performance.
The Peaden Pros will assess your current system and your home’s unique needs, then recommend the right-sized unit with an energy-efficient SEER2 rating. A properly sized, ENERGY STAR® certified system can reduce your monthly utility bills and even qualify you for rebates or tax incentives.
4. Provide Tips on Energy-Efficiency
Sometimes, saving money is about the little things. The Peaden Pros are happy to walk you through simple, effective ways to reduce your cooling costs, such as:
- Using ceiling fans to circulate air
- Keeping blinds closed during peak sun hours
- Raising the thermostat a few degrees when you’re not home
- Avoiding heat-generating appliances during the hottest parts of the day
These small habits, when combined with HVAC system improvements, can make a big impact on your summer energy bills.
