Energy Tips
- Regular Maintenance
- Make sure your system is cleaned and inspected annually to ensure the system is in working order. We recommend a Spring AC clean and check and a Fall furnace clean and check. See our Service agreements for the best price!
- Change Your Filter
- We recommended your HVAC filter be changed every 1-3 months, and after any remodeling in the home. Clogged filters can restrict air flow, causing issues and dust your system.
- Ensure Your Home is Sealed and Insulated
- Air leaks around windows, doors and other areas around your home can make your HVAC system inefficient, and drive utility bills to rise. Inspect windows and doors for correct weather-stripping, caulking and proper closure. Make sure walls, ceilings and attics are properly insulated according to building standards.
- Keep Vents Clean and Clear
- Keep furniture, bookshelves, plants, rugs, and more away from vents to allow proper air flow. Make sure to clean your vents to ensure a clean system working properly.
- Use Curtains, Drapes and Blinds
- Window coverings can significantly change your home’s HVAC system operation. Energy Saver states that you can reduce heat gains by up to 33% and reduce heat loss by 10% simply from installing draperies.
- Crank The Fan
- Using fans in your home to regulate the indoor air flow can allow you savings on your utility bills. This can take load off your HVAC system, allowing the savings.
