🌬️ Smart Air Conditioning Tips to Lower Your Energy Bill

Brought to you by All Cool Heat Plumbing & General Contractor Inc — Central Florida’s Trusted HVAC Experts

When the Florida heat kicks in, your air conditioner becomes the hardest-working appliance in your home. But keeping cool doesn’t have to mean sky-high energy bills! With the right maintenance and smart habits, you can stay comfortable and save money every month.

Here are 7 proven Air Conditioning tips from the pros at All Cool Heat Plumbing & General Contractor Inc to help lower your energy bill — without sacrificing comfort.

💡 1. Replace or Clean Air Filters Regularly

Dirty filters block airflow and make your AC work harder. Check your filters every month — especially during summer — and replace them at least every 60–90 days. Clean filters mean better airflow, cleaner air, and lower energy use.

🕐 2. Set Your Thermostat Smartly

Each degree matters!

Set your thermostat between 76–78°F when you’re home and 80–82°F when you’re away.

Better yet, install a smart thermostat — it learns your schedule and adjusts automatically to maximize savings.

☀️ 3. Keep Heat Out

Close curtains or blinds during the hottest part of the day. Direct sunlight can raise indoor temperatures fast, forcing your system to work overtime. Adding window film or reflective shades can also make a big difference.

🧊 4. Schedule Regular Maintenance

Preventative AC maintenance helps your system run efficiently all year.

At All Cool Heat Plumbing & General Contractor Inc, our certified technicians check refrigerant levels, clean coils, inspect electrical components, and fine-tune your system for peak performance.

✅ Pro Tip: Schedule tune-ups twice a year — before summer and before winter.

🌬️ 5. Keep Vents Clear and Open

Blocked vents can cause uneven cooling and force your AC to work harder. Move furniture or curtains away from air vents to allow full airflow throughout your home.

🧱 6. Seal Leaks and Insulate

Air leaks around windows, doors, or ductwork waste energy. Proper insulation helps your home maintain a steady temperature — saving up to 15% on cooling costs.

🌀 7. Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient System

If your air conditioner is over 10 years old, upgrading to a new inverter technology or high-SEER energy-efficient system can dramatically lower your utility costs.

Our team offers professional installation and helps you choose the best system for your home and budget.
