Keeping Cool with Essential Insulation
In summer, keeping your home cool is of the utmost priority. And although it may not seem like it, proper insulation is one of the key components of keeping a home cool, ensuring the comfort of you and your family. Our Arlington TX air conditioning technicians at Metro Energy Savers can make sure that you are doing everything possible to beat the heat during this Texas heatwave, starting with proper insulation.
Much like proper insulation keeps the heat inside your home during the winter months, it can keep cool air indoors during summer. The hot sun’s rays can beat down on your home, warming the inside and forcing your air conditioning system to work overtime to make up for this added warmth. Additional insulation can help block these rays out, ensuring that your air conditioning unit can work minimally to properly cool your home, making a noticeable difference in your monthly utility bill.
With our insulation inspections and installation, we can devise a plan to make sure your home is properly insulated, offering our expert advice to ensure you get the most for your money. When you decide the best plan for you, we will execute this plan in a timely and efficient manner. At Metro Energy Savers, we want you to keep the most air inside your home – and the most money inside your wallet. With any comments, questions, or to schedule an insulation inspection today, feel free to give us a call or visit us online today

Everything you Need to Know about Thermostats
Metro Energy Savers Fort Worth HVAC repair technicians can evaluate your needs for any home cooling system to determine if your home needs new thermostats, as well as assessing any thermostat repair requirements.
A thermostat is a device that regulates the temperature of a heating and air conditioning system so the environment stays at a desired temperature. The thermostat controls the flow of energy into or out from the system, determining the comfort of your home or office so you and your family or coworkers can relax in your home or do your work. The thermostat switches heating or cooling devices on or off as needed to keep a constant temperature with minimal variations.
Unfortunately, with today’s heating and cooling needs, combined with the desire for greater energy conservation, many older styles of thermostats do not provide the level of desired control. Some homes don’t even have a digital thermostat yet. Older thermostats are more prone to break down or vary in actual degrees. Most commonly, new thermostats are programmable, allowing for homeowners to maintain presets for different times of day and different days of the week to use less energy. With a programmable thermostat, heating and cooling costs can drop immensely per year by setting the thermostat to a lower setting when the home is not occupied.
The thermostat should be located away from cooling and heating vents and devices, while remaining exposed to general airflow from the room or rooms you wish to cool. An open hallway would be the best location for a single-zone thermostat that includes the living room and bedroom. If the hallway can be closed off by doors from the regulated spaces, it is important to keep the doors open when the unit is in use.
If the thermostat is too close to the source of controlled air, the system tends to cycle frequentl. These numerous starts and stops can shorten the life of your HVAC equipment. A multiple zone system saves a considerable amount of energy, regulating individual spaces and allowing unused rooms to vary in temperature by turning off the heating or cooling to that particular space. You can discuss the possibility of multi-zone thermostat systems with one of our Fort Worth Metro Energy Savers’ informed technicians to determine the cost and the savings involved in the installation.

Summer Air Conditioning Tips
Rising summer temperatures result in growing use of your home air conditioning unit. Some energy saving tips from your local Arlington TX air conditioning service experts can help you save money and keep your system running efficiently.
The strain on air conditioning units during the warmer months can be eased by using ceiling or oscillating fans. Fans are more energy efficient than a large AC unit and moving the air around will help to cool the room you are in.
Pulling curtains or shades on east and west windows in your home can help keep heat out. Also, running the dishwasher or oven at night when it is cooler outside will help balance the cooling requirements of your air conditioning unit.
Checking and cleaning the AC coils on your indoor and outdoor unit will help possible efficiency issues as well as checking the refrigerant charge. For jobs like this, the professionals at your Arlington TX HVAC company are ready to serve.
Keeping the doors and windows closed tight and as much as possible during the day will ease the work of your AC unit. Energy efficient choices like these can help alleviate high energy bills.
The professionals at Metro Energy Savers, your Arlington air conditioning company, are here to help you with all your residential AC unit needs. Give us a call or find us online to schedule an air conditioning inspection today.
