July 2009
June 2009 will go down in the record books as
one of the hottest Junes ever. This has put a big strain on all our
air conditioning systems to keep up. A properly sized air
conditioner will run non stop in the afternoons at these peak
temperature conditions. If you have a programmable thermostat and
set the temperature to go up during the day while you are gone I
recommend not setting it more than 2 degrees above the temperature
you want it to be when you get home. The hardest time to cool your
home down is between 3 and 10pm. This is when the outside and attic
are the hottest. If you set your thermostat up more than 2 degrees
while you are gone during the day then it will actually consume more
energy trying to cool the house back down than it would to just
maintain the temperature. Plus in these hot temperatures it may
take the unit until midnight or later to get the temperature in the
home back to where you want it. In the cooler months you can set it
up a couple more degrees because it is not as hard to cool down.
