AIR CONDITIONER REPLACEMENT GUIDE
AWhat type of air conditioner do I need?
+
There are many types of air conditioners, including portable,
window and in-wall units. This
guide deals with central air
conditioners, which use your
furnace to push air through your home’s ductwork. In these systems,
the main air conditioner
compressor is located outside your
home to expel warm air, and a
direct feed through a wall to your furnace in your basement to bring
Just like your furnace, a central air conditioner is controlled by your wall
thermostat. If you have a new digital programmable thermostat, you’ll
have complete control over the temperature and schedule management.
Most people set their thermostat to activate the air conditioner a few
hours before they return home from work or school in an effort to save
electricity and wear and tear every day. And if your home is a part of
your municipality’s ‘time-of-use’ electricity rate structure, you can save
every month with some smart scheduling.
THE PERFECT TEMPERATURE
Scientists have defined the perfect temperature as that at which a person
wearing a normal amount of clothing feels neither too cold nor too
warm. This "thermal comfort" point varies between 21C and 24C,
depending upon relative humidity and your activity level. To find your
perfect temperature, set your thermostat a little higher and then reduce it
if you still feel warm. The goal is to balance comfort with energy
efficiency.
GIVE YOUR A/C AN ASSIST
There are many ways to keep your home cool during hot summer days,
in addition to turning on your air conditioner. When planning your
garden, consider planting shade-giving trees or other plants near
windows. If you are going out for a few hours, consider drawing the
shades on your windows to repel the sun’s heat. Also, if you do need to
stay in the home, the lower floors will always be cooler than upper floors,
where heat naturally rises and collects. For more tips on how to stay cool
while minimizing the a/c use: watch our video at:
