How to use air conditioning in summer

High summer temperatures force us to turn on the air conditioning at home on a daily basis to enjoy a comfortable temperature. Sometimes, in a hurry to cool down, we misuse our air conditioning system which results in a inefficient use of it and, consequently, has an impact on our energy bill. That is why, at Ecoforest, we have decided to write this post where we give you a series of tips on how to use air conditioning in summer.

Regulating the temperature

Many people set the air conditioning at too low temperatures in order to get rid of the heat as soon as possible. This is a very common mistake that causes certain problems. One of them is getting sick. It is well known that contrast between temperatures causes many colds and other health problems. That is why we recommend that, instead of setting the air conditioning at a temperature that is too low, you should set it at a temperature that achieves the optimum environment. Because, although it may surprise you, the truth is that the best temperature for your home is between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius.

Keeping your air conditioning system in good condition

Some people only use their air conditioning system for a couple of months. As it is switched off for the rest of the time, we sometimes forget to check if it is still working properly and, in summer, we can be disappointed. That is why it is necessary to carry out the annual maintenance and check if it is in good condition before the summer season. It is also necessary to check it several times a year and make sure that the filters and water tanks are in good condition.

Close windows and doors

When you have the air conditioning on, we advise you to keep all windows and doors closed to prevent air from circulating and, thus, heat from entering the house. Open windows waste the air expelled by the air conditioner and it will need more time to achieve the optimal temperature.

Ventilate the house once a day

Some people keep the air on all day long however houses need to renew internal air to keep a healthy environment. We recommend that you turn the air conditioning on until it reaches an optimum temperature and that you open the windows to ventilate and renew the air from time to time.

Selecting the right air conditioning system

There are several air conditioning systems suitable for the summer, but not all of them offer the same performance or are of the same quality. For this reason, we recommend that you check the qualities of each one to choose the one that best suits your needs.

At Ecoforest, we have a long experience manufacturing HVAC equipment and we always recommend our clients to purchase an air-based or ground-based heat pump. These systems are the most efficient on the market, generating 5 times more energy than the electricity they consume. They are also environmentally friendly, as they have low CO₂ emissions and use renewable energy sources. Both also agree that they are long-lasting, easy to install, require little maintenance and do not require other extra costs. Choose a good air conditioning system and make good use of it to keep your home cool all summer long. The best way to enjoy the summer season at home is with a system that provides the best comfort at the most competitive price. Contact us for more information.
