I live in a four-family room house and I have an inground swimming pool that runs most of the time, then heating and cooling the house is 1 of the most costly bills that I have throughout the Winter time and summer time months.
It definitely costs me about 10 or 15 dollars every afternoon to run the a/c.
The a/c is definitely 1 of the most costly items in the house as far as electricity is sad. When you add the cost of maintenance into the bill, the a/c is definitely an costly appliance to maintain. I try to have a tune-up service performed on the a/c before it is the summer time season. I recognize entirely strongly that a tune-up helps the A/C perform better while the two of us were in the sizzling and humid months. I do not care about when the A/C runs all afternoon because the temperatures are 100° outside. When the air filters are wipe and the machine has been took care of, the a/c has a much easier time keeping up with the demand for cooling in our home. It can still be sizzling in the back of the house. I have thought about buying an extra a/c for that particular area, however a portable a/c would toil out really well and so would a ductless mini split system. There are pros and cons for each 1 of the systems and the price difference is quite big so I really want to be sure that I buy the right machine when I finally make the decision to add another A/C unit to our home.
