When Edmonton summers get sticky, your cooling bill can climb fast — often because the system works harder than it should. The good news is that a handful of low-cost habits cut energy use without making your home any warmer. Here is what our technicians recommend before the first heatwave.
Set the thermostat one degree higher for every degree you can tolerate. Small changes add up quickly and barely affect comfort. JUJCO Heating & Cooling
A professional diagnostic goes well beyond a thermostat glance. JUJCO technicians check the refrigerant charge, inspect the outdoor coil, test the capacitor and contactor, verify the condensate drain, and measure the temperature split across the evaporator. Catching a failing capacitor early prevents a mid-July compressor burnout.
A maintenance visit is the cheapest insurance. JUJCO cleans the coils, checks refrigerant, and calibrates the thermostat so the system hits temperature efficiently. A tuned system can use up to fifteen percent less electricity for the same comfort.
We raised the thermostat two degrees and ran the fan more, and our July bill dropped by almost twenty percent compared with last year.
The smart thermostat tip was a game changer. It learned our schedule and stopped cooling an empty house during the day.
JUJCO sealed our leaky ducts and the upstairs finally stays cool. Our unit runs less often now.
