Summertime is cooling time, but it can also mean high energy bills from your heating and air conditioning
system. Is there a way to keep your house comfortable without spending a fortune on air conditioning? You’ve come to the right place. Take a look at our five tips for saving money while keeping your house cool this summer.
Tip 1: Close Your Blinds
Closing your blinds to block the sun is an easy way to keep HVAC costs down. Reducing the heat coming through the windows will keep your house cooler and your AC more efficient.
Tip 2: Upgrade Your Thermostat
A smart thermostat is an easy upgrade and can help save you a significant amount of money on your energy bills. Easy programming and WIFI capabilities make this money-saving tip one of the most popular, and most effective.
Tip 3: Run Your Ceiling Fan
Make sure to take advantage of ceiling fans to keep your house cool. They should run in a counterclockwise direction for a cooling effect and to cut down on the amount of AC you’ll need for a comfortable home.
Tip 4: Change Your HVAC Air Filter
A dirty air filter makes your HVAC system work harder and use more energy. Changing the air filter can make it run more efficiently and more effectively.
Tip 5: Regular HVAC Maintenance
Regular service for your air conditioner ensures it’s running right. When the system is clean, lubricated, and calibrated as it should be, it will provide more consistent temperatures and use less energy, saving you money on your utility bills.
