Ways Florida Homeowners Can Slash Cooling Costs

By: Robbi Hess | Category: Air Conditioning, Blog |

“It is hot enough for ya’?” Chances are you’ve heard that phrase a few times during this hot Florida summer. Floridians are accustomed to heat and humidity. We are always looking for ways to save money on air conditioning costs during our long, hot summers. We have come up with 3 ways Florida homeowners can slash cooling costs — then you can spend your savings on fun summer events!

The air conditioning professionals from Symbiont Air Conditioning in Englewood, Florida work with homeowners and business owners to find ways to make cooling homes and commercial buildings more affordable.

Ways Florida Homeowners Can Slash Cooling Costs

The best thing about this advice is that they are inexpensive as well. In some instances, it makes sense to spend money so to save money, but in this case, we’re hoping you can save money in more than one way! 

We will share both high- and low-cost options. 

High: Start with your air conditioning unit. When you install a new one or replace a current unit, invest in a high-efficiency central air conditioner. Central air has become vastly more energy-efficient in recent years. If you’re replacing a unit that is more than ten years old you will find you will realize a close to 20-40% cost on your cooling bills. If you opt for a geothermal air conditioning unit will save even more. A geothermal heat pump can reduce energy useable by as much as 60%! 

Low: Use a whole house fan. Whether you’re replacing the air conditioning unit, have central air or window air conditioning units, when you use a fan you’re helping circulate the cooled air and that will make the house cooler. If you don’t have a whole house fan, invest in regular fans and strategically place them around the house to force the cooled air into the rooms that require it. 

High: Upgrade your windows. If you have drafty, single-pane windows you are essentially paying for cooled air that is going right out the window — literally. When you replace your windows you can lower your energy costs by more than 10%. 

Low: Upgrade and update your curtains and use them strategically. Invest in dark shades and curtains. Close the curtains in the hottest parts of the day. Caulk the windows and add weather stripping. 

High: Upgrade your roof. You can install a rooftop solar cooling and heating system. In Florida, we certainly have the sun available to make a solar upgrade a viable option. 

Low: Insulate the attic. If your attic is properly insulated you will save on cooling and heating costs. Many homes in Florida are under-insulated and that means the cooled air is escaping through the roof. 

If you’re looking for more ways to save on your cooling costs this summer, give the air conditioning experts at Symbiont Air Conditioning a call today. 

We specialize in, and our expertise surrounds, GeoThermal and traditional air conditioning systems. We work with both residential and commercial air conditioning customers to heat and cool their homes and businesses.

Our fully trained, knowledgeable professionals provide residential and commercial air conditioning replacement, ongoing service and maintenance, as well as 24/7 emergency air conditioning repair. Symbiont Service Corp professionals also service and install GeoThermal systems throughout the State of Florida.
