Cost Effective AC Upgrades

Louisville and Southern Indiana are right in the middle of hottest days of the year, and your cooling system is working nonstop to help you beat the heat. You may be looking for some ways to help get a little more cooling power out of your air conditioner and cooling system, and we’re here to help with some low cost ways to increase the effectiveness of your cooling system.

• Programmable Thermostats. By far the biggest innovation you can add to your cooling system if you don’t already have ne is an electric thermostat. Instead of the inconsistent dials of old, you can accurately set temperatures in your house with the push of a button. A programmable thermostat is a real treat, though; you can keep your unit off while you’re out of the house and set it to come on just before you get home, giving you cool air when you need it, and saving you money when you don’t.

• Zone Control System. Going along the same lines, you have rooms in your house that are high traffic, and rooms you barely use. Why heat the entire house evenly when it isn’t needed? Simply add zone control to your cooling system, and you can keep the living room nice and chilled while the kitchen stays warm until you need it. This also helps with the family that have some that like it hot and some that like it cold, because with zone control, everyone ends up feeling perfect.
