Emergency AC Repairs for Prosper Nights
Discover reliable solutions for emergency AC services. Trust Burnside Air Conditioning & Heating to restore comfort with swift, expert service.
There are a lot of ways to save energy on your air conditioning, so if you’re tired of paying through the nose each month to stay comfortable, you have several options.You’ll find that while some of these tips might seem like it would take a major sacrifice, eventually they will become second nature. Here are the top 10 ways to shave some serious money off of your electric bill.
1. One of the Best Ways to Save Energy is Very Simple
All you need to do in order to save a lot of money is to set your AC temperature lower before you go to bed. Since you’re sleeping, you don’t expend as much energy so it won’t take as much to keep you comfortable.
2. Consider a Window Unit
Window units are great if you tend to stay in one part of the home each day, such as if you work in your house. They consume a lot less energy than central units.
3. Shut Your Vents
One of the most efficient ways to save energy is to shut off the vents to the areas of the house where no one typically stays during the day. Your bedrooms and guest bathroom are good examples.
4. Get Your Unit Checked
Regular maintenance is a great way to identify inefficiencies in your system so they can be addressed before you waste more energy.
5. Look at Your Ducts
Your duct system is one of the main culprits behind wasting energy. If they’re not properly insulated, air will be leaking from your home that could otherwise be used to keep you cool.
6. Move Your Furniture
There might be a couch or chair blocking an air vent. This could make your system work much harder than it should.
7. Set the Temperature Higher
Try setting your thermostat at 78 degrees during the day. This will not only help save energy but help your AC work efficiently.
8. Turn off the Lights
Lights put out much more heat than you think. Make sure you turn them off in rooms you don’t use during the day.
9. Take it Easy on Your AC When You’re Not Home
Unless you have pets that are sensitive to heat, there’s really no reason to run your AC at the normal temperature when nobody’s there. Set it to 85 degrees and keep the drapes and windows closed. It will be warm when you get home but it won’t take that long to cool off.
10. Use Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans do a great job of working in tandem with your AC to keep you comfortable. That way, you won’t need to make the AC work as hard.Burnside Air Conditioning, Heating & Indoor Air Quality experts can not only help you find ways to save energy, they can take care of any problems that might crop up with your AC system.

"Exceptional customer service today from these guys. Technicion Aaron was top notch. Arrived on time, great communication and he diagnosed our problem and made the repair with parts he had on board his van in less than an hour. This is what good service should be like. Five stars!"
"We have used Burnside for nearly 30 years. They have always been prompt, polite, and professional. Our latest request was a disconnect. You can be sure Burnside's phone will ring as soon as new service is required!"
"I am so impressed with Burnside!!! I will never even consider using anyone else. I was u def a lot of pressure and the heating system was not working correctly and they found a minor inexpensive solution. Another local vendor charged way more for a similar situation. I immediately sighed up for their annual program. God bless them."
"I had Burnside install a new A/C system a few years ago. They did a great job and have returned on a few occasions to perform maintenance. Their technicians are well trained, knowledgeable and courteous. I would highly recommend them for your A/C and heating needs!"
"This crew who installed both of our HCAC units were very good. They worked hard for over 8 hours so we did not have to worry about getting uncomfortable with both units down. Would recommend Burnside to family and friends."
"Aaron B. Was our technician yesterday. He was quick to diagnose the problem, explain my options and then fixed the issue in a timely manner. Pleasant and professional. I really appreciate this company and only use Burnside for my AC/furnace needs. A+"
"Excellent inspection and service by Jacob McCormick. He was very efficient, personable and professional. We would like to request him for our future inspections. A first class job!"
"I cannot praise Tim enough for coming to our rescue! We were having issues with rooms over heating and getting too cold, and he was at our house with quickness to resolve the issue!"
"Thank you Burnside!! Cody took the time to explain all my options and answered all my questions. He is professional, punctual and extremely knowledgable. I highly recommend Burnside Air Conditioning to anyone needing AC services!"
