Why Is Your Electric Bill So High This Summer?
If your air conditioner seems to be running constantly and your utility bills keep climbing, your AC may be working much harder than it needs to. One commonly overlooked cause is dirty condenser coils, which can reduce your system's efficiency and increase cooling costs.

How Much Does Your Air Conditioner Affect Your Electric Bill?
During the summer, your air conditioner is often one of the largest energy users in your home.
When your system loses efficiency, it has to run longer to maintain the same indoor temperature. Those extra run times can contribute to higher electricity usage and increased utility bills.
Signs your AC may be working harder than necessary:
Higher-than-normal electric bills
Longer cooling cycles
Uneven temperatures throughout the home
Constant operation during hot weather
One Common Cause: Dirty Condenser Coils
Over time, outdoor air conditioning units collect dirt, pollen, cottonwood, grass clippings, dust, and other debris.
When the condenser coils become dirty, they can't release heat as effectively. This reduces the system's efficiency and can cause the air conditioner to work harder to cool your home.
