HVAC Tips

Energy saving tips

  • Check your air filters – Change them when they are dirty (anywhere between every month and every 6 months depending on system) and check that you are using the correct size/type of filter, using the wrong filter can do more harm than good
  • Have preventative maintenance performed yearly – Get unit cleaned and checked for any arising issues
  • Keep furniture clear of vents – Keep units from working harder to keep rooms cool by not blocking circulation
  • Check that ducts and windows are sealed properly
  • Have home insulated properly – If your home is older it may not be insulated
  • Use Energy Star equipment
  • Install programmable thermostats
  • Set/ adjust temperature per season- Set temperature slightly higher in warmer months and lower in winter months
