Topic: Air Conditioner Efficiency Tips

==========================================================================
Sources: http://www.articlecity.com/articles/hom ... 2947.shtml


When the temperatures rise in the summertime, the efficiency of your
air conditioners drops. There are some steps that you can take that will
keep your home cooler, reduce your air conditioning costs, and provide
savings on your energy bill.
Have your air conditioning unit inspected annually. They need to be
periodically cleaned and tuned. Have a professional inspect and tune
your system. Have them check the coolant charge, airflow, and the insulation on the cooling lines.

Keep rooms closed off and vents shut in rooms that are not used
frequently.

Be sure your ducts are properly sealed and insulated. Duct leaks can
allow cool air into your attic or crawl space or they can draw hot air and
moisture into your home.

Install a timed thermostat that turns on the AC later in the day and
off earlier in the evening when it is cooler.

Use fans to keep the cool air circulating thoughout your house.

Dark colored roofing absorbs a lot of solar energy, which is converted
to heat in your attic and living space. The next time you re-roof your
home, consider installing white or other light-colored shingles to reflect
more solar heat.

When solar energy heats your attic, this heat radiates through the
ceiling and heats the rooms below. Attic insulation slows this heat flow,
and it also slows the heat flow out of your home in the winter.
Add attic insulation to total 16 inches or more if you currently have less than 6 inches of insulation.

Windows allow sunlight to pour into your home. Awnings, sunscreens, or
curtains over the windows that receive the most sun will help keep the
heat out.

Obstructions surrounding the outdoor unit of your air conditioner will
reduce the airflow over the condenser coil and lower the efficiency of
your system. Be sure to remove any leaves, branches or debris from the
outdoor unit to keep the air around the unit circulating freely.

Keep cool!
Questions:
1. Would you have other tips which you can share with us how to improve
air conditioner efficiency or save energy bill.
2. Do you feel cool in 拉拉山 or not? How about your choice ?Do you
prefer stay in city or mountain during summertime.
3. Do you have any idea , how to keep cool?
