HVAC energy efficiency seems like a pipe dream, but it can be a reality. With some easy changes, you can save money on your monthly utility bills. Here are some smart strategies to make it happen.
Change Your Air Filter
It seems simple enough, but a clean air filter can make a huge difference in the efficiency of your heating and cooling system. When the filter is dirty or clogged, the unit has to work harder to pull in air. The extra work means it’s using excess energy and costing you more in the process.
Invest in a Smart Thermostat
If you’re still using an old thermostat, you’re throwing money out the window. Upgrading to a smart programmable thermostat can help you save big on your utility bills. Programming allows you to adjust the temperature automatically based on your lifestyle and comfort preferences, so you aren’t using your HVAC when you don’t need it.
Take Care of Maintenance
Just like your car, your HVAC needs regular service to keep it running in prime condition. A system that’s running right will be more energy efficient. The right maintenance agreement ensures it gets the attention it needs twice a year, in the fall before you turn the heat on and in the spring before you need the air conditioner
