What Thermostat settings improve your system efficiency?

BY AIRZONE SERVICES

Now that Spring is right around the corner, there are days that areas like Kyle Texas in Hays County go from cold winterish nights to hot and humid days.  All within 24 hours.   This is a normally common weather pattern for the area that typically stretches out well into April and at times even July.   With the temperatures constantly changing, it can be a challenge to find the right system settings to have your home feeling comfortable through the constant up and downs.


During the Summertime, it's typically safe to leave your thermostat running at no lower than 72℉.  Most systems, depending on age and condition, struggle to keep temperatures lower than 72℉ (cooling against outside temperatures that average between 85- 90.℉)  Although there are exceptions to some air conditioning units that are built to manage larger cooling gap, most households traditionally are managing a aging 2.5 ton or 3 ton unit that requires some TLC.


During the Wintertime, it is our recommendation that your system be left at roughly 68 ℉ ( 22℃) give or take a few degrees depending on comfort levels.  Not only is using other means of keeping warm like blankets and clothing beneficial to trapping body heat but this is also an efficient way at conserving energy and saving on electrical costs.  


However, Now the question remains, what if your dealing with both.  Nights get down to 40℉ and up in the 80s by noon.   Here are a few tips to help you maneuver through the changes.   


FEW TIPS TO HELP MANEUVER THROUGH THE HOT AND COLD CHANGES:

 

THERMOSTAT LOCATION 


Tip 1: With many homeowners making changes to their homes due their need of additional space.  One common forgot piece of the puzzle is the thermostat.  If your thermostat is placed in a part of the house that is hotter or colder than the rest of the area that it is treating.  It could have problems reading the actual temperature in the room.  Shutting itself off before heating up the rest of the area.  Some factors include computer towers located by the thermostat which release heat the more often it is in use.   

     
SMART THERMOSTATS

 

Tip 2: Changing out your thermostat to a smart thermostat could make the settings easier to see and control.  With the technological innovations of thermostats, comes the ability to have more control over the times that your system turns on and off.  What temperature to go to and at what parts of the day to change over to a different setting. 

 

MINI SPLIT AUTO SETTINGS

 

Tip 3: Reading your manual will save you a lot of headache.  Auto settings can make it easier for the system to alter between heating and cooling for those days you don't know how the weather will change.  Because the system is also removing moisture from the air, it will still keep the humidity control in the home even if it is running between heating at night to cooling in the day. 

 

ROUTINELY FILTER CHANGE

 

Tip 4: Changing out the filters to improve air flow and cleaning the air, is always a recommendation to keep your system working at peak performance.  When the weather is colder, more people spend a large amount of time indoors.  Pets dander, dust, and pollen all enter the air of the home and a clean filter will help trap them as the treated air circulates throughout your home.  It is important that your filters are the correct filter for you system, size, and flow.

How does the ban on R22 refrigerant and equipment affect my Air Conditioning System Cost?

In 2022, there has been some changes to the industry that is worth mentioning.  From the changes to the R22 equipment and supplies, to the timelines to which customer’s should consider replacing their equipment. In today’s market, financial planning and preparation comes with information and advice from professionals in the business. Let’s start with the positive: EPA has taken steps to reduce the pollution that Air Conditioning systems put out into the atmosphere. With the cease in production of R22 refrigerant and equipment, which release dangerous ozone depleting chemicals into the air, AC units today are manufactured to use the alternative 410a refrigerant. The 410a can absorb and release heat better than R22 and doesn’t contain chlorine atoms, making it safer for the environment than it’s counterpart. This didn’t happen overnight: This change has been a long time coming with the phase out of R22 dating back to 2010. If your system was installed prior to 2010, then it most likely u

On the other, the system removes  moisture from the air while it runs and drain it outside  the home or ac drain line What affects the humidity level? During the wintertime, most homes close for the season, and all  humidity in the home escapes through the air conditioner, fan vents, windows, and  doors.  The water in the air is an accumulation of moisture due to  weather and moisture added through everyday living including hot  showers, cooking, and steaming.  Higher humidity levels cause the air  to feel much hotter than the actual temperature.
