How to Reduce Air Conditioning Costs

Published

Dealing with Illinois weather means keeping your air conditioner running longer than expected. Some days might feel cooler–hinting at changing seasons–only for the following week to feel blazing hot. Naturally, this “off and on” cycle means your AC unit works harder to maintain stable temperatures. Often, you can expect rising AC costs if you keep it running.

Read these tips to learn how to reduce energy costs while keeping yourself safe and comfortable at home.

Get Professional Repair or Maintenance Service

The simplest way to avoid rising AC costs is to hire professionals to repair and maintain it. HVAC systems last approximately 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance. Heavy use in the summer months increases the risk of broken evaporator coils, condenser coils, clogged air filters, or other issues. As a result, you pay higher energy costs to stay comfortable.

Call an HVAC technician to reduce energy consumption and lower your energy bills!

How to Reduce Energy Costs on Aging Air Conditioning Units

Of course, if you have an older air conditioner, sometimes repairs and maintenance don’t address the main issue. Older ACs are notorious for using lots of energy to cool the home. However, they also risk more breakdowns than new units.

Order a new air conditioner instead of scheduling and paying for constant repairs. HVAC companies can replace your old AC unit and install a new one based on your needs, budget, and sizing requirements. These energy-saving units can cool your home without impacting the electric bills.

What Our Customers
Say About Us

We moved into a new house recently and Allied was recommended to us by my best friend.

We had them install a new humidifier and zone the system. On moving day (Friday) at 3 pm when we showed up we found the AC wouldn't shut off. I texted my tech with hopes of getting on the schedule for the following week since it was late Friday. He said someone would be there in 30 min. They stayed for 2 hours and fixed a faulty wire and it was all covered under warranty. Can't argue with customer service like that. Highly recommend if you want dependable folks that are very responsive.

We were extremely pleased by the service that Allied provided us.

Our A/C went out over the 4th of July we knew we needed a new system installed asap (we knew it was on its last leg). We contacted them and two other companies for comparison quotes. Allied was out here first thing July 5th to assess and provide a quote. In the end we decided to go with them. They were professional, thorough and very detailed in options and quotes.

Moved into the neighborhood and Allied HVAC had been recommended from my brother to replace both our furnace and ac unit.

Very professional from the start with a quote from Chris B. in sales which lead to an install date of my choice. On the day of the installation Jeff and Jackson arrived right on time as requested. The installation was prompt and done in a timely matter, and it they explained exactly what needed to be done from start to finish.
