So you’ve upgraded your home with a brand-new air conditioning system—nice move! You’re officially set up for cooler days ahead. But don’t put that thermostat on cruise control just yet. Even the best AC system needs a little TLC to keep it running efficiently for years to come.
At Radiant, we’re here to help you make the most of your investment. Here’s what you should know to keep your new air conditioner operating at peak performance—without adding stress to your summer.
5 Ways to Get the Most Out of Your New AC System
1. Be Strategic About Usage
Even if your new system is super efficient, there’s no need to run it around the clock. On mild days, give your AC a break by opening windows and letting in fresh air. Less run time = lower energy bills and less wear on the unit.
2. Avoid Indoor Heat Buildup
Hot showers and stovetop cooking during the hottest part of the day can add unnecessary heat and humidity inside your home. Try to shift these activities to cooler hours to reduce strain on your AC.
3. Block Out Solar Heat
Your new AC works hard to cool the air—so don’t make it battle heat coming in through windows. Use blinds or curtains during the day to minimize direct sunlight and keep indoor temperatures more manageable.
4. Always Choose Professional Installation
A new air conditioner is only as good as its install. Improper installation can lead to efficiency problems, higher energy bills, and a shortened lifespan. If you’re still shopping for AC services, make sure to choose a licensed, experienced team—like Radiant—for the job.
5. Schedule Annual Maintenance
One of the best ways to protect your investment is with yearly AC maintenance. A seasonal tune-up helps identify potential issues early, boosts energy efficiency, and extends the life of your unit.
Radiant’s technicians perform thorough inspections and cleanings so your system runs smoothly—especially when you need it most.
