Frequently Questionable Cooling Advice
A lot of cooling advice is just hot air. Before you act on a suggestion from your neighbor, it’s smart to make sure it’s right. Here are a few pieces of bad advice we’ve heard over the years.
Putting fabric softener in your swamp cooler will make it smell better.
Fabric softener may temporarily freshen the odor coming from your vents, but it also contains waxy materials that can clog your pump and waterline, leading to major problems. If your swamp cooler has an odor, it’s likely a sign that your pads need to be replaced. Fresh pads will do a lot more for your indoor air quality than pouring anything into your system. (And don’t even get us started about Kool-Aid).Turning off your AC when you aren’t home saves money.
Your AC has to work harder to cool down your house after being turned off. In the long run, this could create even higher energy bills. Instead of letting your home get to a scorching temperature and then counting on your unit to bring down the temperature, aim to keep the thermostat steady. Your AC won’t have to work so hard to maintain the right temperature if you only need to cool by a few degrees.Turning the thermostat down low will cool the house faster.
Cranking your thermostat down to 50 won’t make the air blow any colder, faster. It could make it work harder, though, and puts your refrigerated air at risk of freezing. For best results, set your thermostat to the temperature you’d like to maintain and leave it there.More About Common Cooling Issues
