Slash Summer Utility Bills by Replacing Old Air Conditioner

RAPID CITY, S.D. - Aug. 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Rapid City, S.D. – For most South Dakotans, hot summer temperatures means skyrocketing electric bills. But during the dog days of summer, there are a few options to help you save some cold hard cash.

Start by taking a look at your air conditioner. Whether it’s a window unit or central air conditioner, older models can be huge energy-guzzlers.

“Look for a new model that carries the Energy Star label, and meets or exceeds government energy efficiency guidelines,” said James Buchholz of All Seasons Heating & Cooling in Rapid City, SD. “Air conditioner replacement is affordable, and will save you more money in the long run.”

In addition, Mr. Buchholz recommends having your air conditioner checked every spring. This routine maintenance can help extend the life of your air conditioner, and help ensure it runs properly through the summer months.

For additional savings, replace your AC filter every month. Install a programmable thermostat, and utilize the pre-programmed settings to turn up the thermostat when no one is home.

And should your AC break down during the warmest months of the year, call an AC repair company right away. Whether it’s a simple repair or time to replace your unit with a more energy efficient model, a reputable heating and cooling company can suggest the best solution and get you back on track quickly.

"No one wants to come after a long day at work and walk into a sauna," Bucholz said. "You want to be comfortable and relaxed, and an efficient air conditioner plays a big role in that."
