SQUARE FEET PER TON OF AIR CONDITIONING CAPACITY … helps you determine your square feet per ton and compare the result to a chart rated from poor to excellent design. This book will describe in detail how to make the corrections that can improve your position on the chart.

THE UTILITY ROOM describes how your washer and dryer add a heavy load to your air conditioning bills. Did you know that a clothes dryer can suck a complete houseful of air out of the house for each hour it runs, and that the replacement air is usually hot, humid and non-filtered outdoor air that the A/C unit has to cool, dehumidify, and filter? The utility room also causes a lot of dust in the house. The chapter describes the fairly easy corrections that will pay in lower bills and a cleaner house.

REDUCING THE ATTIC IMPACT tells why, where and how to reduce the terrible heat load an attic can place on your A/C system. The attic can rob 30% of your cooling costs, and you can greatly reduce the loss by following the directions provided in the book. This is a key area to address, and has a major impact on your total energy costs.

ATTIC ACCESS deals with reducing the large volume of cold winter air and hot summer air that flows into the living area. The correction will also reduce dust (often fiberglass particles), pollen and noise.

CENTRAL FORCED AIR SYSTEM and the chapter REDUCING AIR LEAKS AND HUMIDITY tell how your system operates, filters air, leaks good air, sucks in bad air, and looses efficiency. It also describes mold conditions that the A/C system can cause. The chapters  walk you through the correction projects that should raise the system’s efficiency forever, and provide healthier air, less dust, and better cooling and heating.

THE OUTDOOR UNIT chapter has photographs and descriptions of a number of common problems that the unit (condenser) may have. Many of the problems are builder or installer related, and should be corrected. Other problems are caused by the home- owner, and can be avoided in the future, once informed.

WHEN REPLACEMENTS ARE NECESSARY presents items to consider when you have to replace your heating, cooling or major appliances.
