Improving Energy Efficiency

Proper insulation is another key factor in maximizing the effectiveness of your HVAC system. Seal any air leaks around windows, doors, and attic hatches to prevent conditioned air from escaping and unconditioned air from entering. Consider upgrading to energy-efficient windows and adding insulation to your attic and walls for better thermal insulation.

Smart Thermostat Usage

Investing in a programmable or smart thermostat can significantly reduce your energy costs. Set the temperature higher in the summer and lower in the winter when you’re away or asleep, and program it to return to a comfortable level before you arrive home or wake up. Proper thermostat management can lead to substantial savings on your utility bills.

Lastly, remember to change your air filters regularly, typically every three months or as recommended by the manufacturer. Clogged filters restrict airflow, causing your system to work harder and consume more energy, shortening its lifespan and compromising indoor air quality.
