The comfort system in a typical home in southern Arizona uses more energy than any other appliance. Generally 52% according to a recent study published by (SSVEC) Sulpher Springs Valley Electric Cooperative. Here are a few ways to keep your home comfort system performing at peak effeciency, and minimize energy usage.

Change your filter

Changing the air filters in your home air conditioning units is the least expensive way you can maintain a clean and effecient comfort system. Dust and buildup from indoor air will cause your system to work harder and run longer and can cause requiring expensive repairs and/or entire system replacement . If you are unable to change your filter due to a difficult location or dissability, Arizona Comfort Systems offers a monthly filter change plan.
