It is also a business cost, and one that can be a sizable part of your overall monthly budget. It may seem difficult to bring down the cost of your commercial air conditioning in Georgetown, but, just as you can take steps in your home to reduce energy usage, you can also do the same for your business. Here are some suggestions from Atlantic Refrigeration on ways you can bring down your business\u2019 air conditioning costs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Schedule regular maintenance \u2013 if you have your own air conditioning unit for your business space, keep your AC in optimal shape by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticrefrigeration.com\/maintenance-program\" target=\"_blank\">scheduling bi-annual maintenance<\/a> during the spring and fall each year. Maintenance keeps your air conditioner efficient, which saves you money.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t ignore problems \u2013 hearing something strange, smelling something off, or feeling a decrease in air flow? Whether your business has its own air conditioner or \u00a0 is part of a larger building system, don\u2019t ignore signs of potential problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Use programmable thermostats \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticrefrigeration.com\/air-conditioning\/thermostats\" target=\"_blank\">thermostats<\/a> are the instruments that cue your system to cycle. Using a programmable thermostat can save you upwards of 15% per year on energy costs because you can tailor temperature settings to specific times of day. This can be especially helpful during non-business hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Check on the state of ductwork \u2013 most business space is rented or leased. If yours is, check with the building management about the ductwork. Examples of questions to ask are the age of the ductwork, when does it get cleaned, it is insulated, and how often is it inspected for problems. Faulty ductwork can account for up to 30% of air loss in a system, a loss you\u2019ll pay for in monthly energy bills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Questions About Commercial Services?
