Home Energy Saving Solutions for Kansas City Homes

Keeping your home comfortable when temperatures rise takes a lot of energy. Whether you live in Kansas City, Overland Park, Olathe, Lee’s Summit, Independence, Shawnee, or a surrounding community, it makes sense to use that energy wisely. Learning how to make your home more energy efficient helps your wallet and the environment.
When it comes to creating energy savings in your home, there are two main goals:
- Stop cool air from leaking out of the house.
- Use energy-smart technology to keep your house comfortable.
The most effective ways to save energy while cooling your home include routine AC maintenance, replacing units older than 10 to 15 years, adding attic and wall insulation, upgrading to a smart thermostat, and using targeted equipment upgrades like zoning or high-performance blowers.
There are several ways to save energy while keeping your home cool, including:
Preventive Air Conditioning Maintenance
Air conditioners work hard to keep homes throughout the Kansas City metro, including Lenexa, Liberty, Blue Springs, and Leawood, cool during the summer. Dust builds up, and parts can wear out from constant use. When that happens, your air conditioner may use even more energy for each degree it cools your home.
When we perform preventative AC maintenance, we clean it thoroughly and check every component and connection to ensure your unit runs as efficiently as possible. This can often reduce your energy bill.
Regular maintenance also helps avoid breakdowns and extends the life of your unit.
Air Conditioning Replacement
If your cooling system is 10 to 15 years old and doesn’t perform as well as it used to, you may see significant energy savings from replacing your old air conditioner.
Homeowners in Kansas City, Overland Park, Olathe, Lee’s Summit, Independence, and surrounding communities trust A.B. May Heating, A/C, Plumbing & Electrical for professional AC replacement. You get a top-quality installation that helps your new system perform at its full potential. The energy savings from installing a high-efficiency air conditioner may pay for itself within a few years.

Equipment Upgrades
An out-of-the-box air conditioner isn’t the best fit for every home, especially if you have a newer system.
We take the time to understand the unique characteristics of your home and your family’s cooling needs to help you find tailored options that save energy and add comfort.
Upgrade options include:
Retrofit Insulation
Insulation is one of the best things you can do for your home. Adding insulation to your walls and ceilings is an affordable way to keep cool air from leaking outside.
We can evaluate your home to determine the areas that need more insulation and install it where you’ll see the greatest impact.
Smart Thermostat Installation
Wi-Fi thermostats can help you manage your comfort and optimize energy efficiency from your smartphone.
We install Nest Learning Thermostats that pay attention to your daily habits to create a program that uses your energy where it’s most effective.
