Here are some steps you can take to reduce the strain on your home's air conditioner and help it run more efficiently – and save money on your energy bill!

• An air conditioning tune-up will ensure that it is operating at peak performance and efficiency. According to studies, 50% of system failures are caused by a lack of maintenance.
• Keep an eye on the thermostat. Regardless of the setting, the air conditioner cools at the same rate. Adjusting the temperature to 70 degrees will not help your house reach 78 degrees any faster than leaving it at 78 degrees. A programmable thermostat is an excellent way to avoid this issue.
• Keep the curtains drawn. Keeping the sun's direct rays out of your home reduces the amount of effort your air conditioner has to put in to keep the house cool. To make the most of this, open the drapes, blinds, or curtains in the evening to allow heat to escape through your home's windows.

The filters, coils and fins of an air conditioner must be maintained on a regular basis in order for the unit to function effectively and efficiently over the course of its service life. Neglecting necessary maintenance results in a steady decline in air conditioning performance while increasing energy consumption.

The most important maintenance task for ensuring the efficiency of your air conditioner is to replace or clean its filters on a regular basis. The evaporator and condenser coils of an air conditioner accumulate dirt over the course of months and years of operation. A clean filter keeps the evaporator coil from becoming clogged too quickly. However, the evaporator coil will continue to collect dirt over time.

Aluminum fins on evaporator and condenser coils bend easily and can obstruct airflow through the coil. A "fin comb" is a tool sold by air conditioning wholesalers that will comb these fins back into nearly original condition.
