AC Tips for Florida - Part 1

Living in Florida means throughout most of the year, you are dealing with intense heat and even more intense humidity. This combination makes your air conditioning an essential appliance in your home. In this first part, we will begin to discuss tips to ensure your AC unit operates at tip top shape, specifically for Florida homeowners!

One part of your AC that quickly deteriorates thanks to Florida’s high humidity levels is your filter. High humidity tends to clog your filter quickly with dust, pollen, and mold spores, making it critical to aim to change your filter at least once a month, especially during the hottest months. This clean filter will ensure improved air quality and air flow.

You can also invest in a programmable or smart thermostat to be more efficient with your AC usage. In Florida where electric bills can run high, this smart thermostat can be a great cost saver by running a slightly higher temperature when you are not home and cooling it when you are back can be great in reducing energy consumption while remaining comfortable.
