Leading Home Comfort company says servicing AC and adjusting temps will save money

PORT CHESTER – June 17, 2024 – With temperatures expected to soar into the 90s through the end of the week, Robison, Westchester’s largest home comfort company, said it is receiving a high volume of calls from homeowners who delayed in maintaining their air conditioning systems for the summer months.

“The temperatures have been unusually cool this spring so the hot weather is taking some people by surprise,’’ said Dan Singer, President and CEO of Robison. “However, it is never too late to do some preventive maintenance that can reduce the cost of operation and keep us cooler.”

  • Change the filter on central AC unit once every three months—and as often as once a month if your system is running all the time.
  • Smart Thermostats can save on energy costs. A programmable thermostat can save you hundreds on your annual AC bill.
  • Reduce dependence on air conditioning: You can make your air conditioning more efficient by lowering the temperature in your home and installing fans to circulate air and blinds to keep the sun out.

Finally, upgrading cooling equipment can save money in the long run since outdated cooling equipment can use a disproportionate amount of energy. Choosing a system with a higher efficiency rating is always the best bet.

“A new HVAC System can reduce your energy bill by as much as 20 percent,’’ said Singer. “There are many options. Homeowners should evaluate SEER ratings to compare different brands of products with similar efficiency ratings.”
