How to Properly Take Care of Your Air Conditioner
Simple steps that keep you cooler, lower energy bills, and help your AC last longer — built for Oklahoma summers.
🔧 Your AC Can’t Fix Itself — But You Can Help
Oklahoma summers are no joke. Triple-digit temps and humidity push systems hard. If your home leaks air, you’re paying to cool the outdoors.
DIY Energy Tip
Stand outside and feel around windows/doors for leaks. If you sense air movement, seal with caulk or weather-strip. Small gaps cause big waste.Want to go deeper? Schedule a professional energy audit with your utility or a certified rater — one of the smartest ways to save. Or read our guide on prepping your home the right way.
📱 Get Smart with Your Thermostat
Old thermostats waste money. Smart models like Ecobee or Nest learn your routine, trim runtime, and keep comfort steady. Keep thermostats off hot exterior walls or sunny spots to avoid false “it’s hot” readings.

🪟 Close the Blinds, Save the Cold
Close blinds/curtains during peak sun — especially west-facing windows. Less heat gain = less AC strain.
💨 Use Fans Like a Pro
Fans cool people, not rooms. A ceiling fan can feel ~4°F cooler, so you can raise the setpoint and stay comfy.
🔥 Raise the Temp, Lower the Bill
The DOE suggests ~78°F while home, higher when away. Even 1–2° up can add up to real savings.
Energy Fact
Setting your thermostat 10–15° higher for 8 hours can save up to ~10% annually on cooling.🛠️ Regular Maintenance = Money in Your Pocket
Most breakdowns we see in OKC trace back to dirty coils, clogged filters, or slow leaks — issues a routine check catches early.
