Energy Saving Tips

Energy Saving Tip #1

Install a programmable thermostat to cut your heating and cooling costs by automatically setting back your temperature when you're away from home or sleeping and automatically restoring the comfort level before you return home or awake.

Energy Saving Tip #2

Set your thermostat to 76 in the summer months and 69 in the winter months.

Energy Saving Tip #3

Inspect your filter for tears, dirt, and dust.  Restricted air filters can cause your heating and cooling unit to waste energy and can shorten the life of your system. Check your air filter at least once a month and replace if necessary.

Energy Saving Tip #4

Make sure that registers and returns are not blocked and kept clean. Registers that are covered by furniture, drapes, rugs, or are dirty can restrict airflow, which can cause your system to work harder and increase your energy bills.

Energy Saving Tip #5

Use fans in the summer months to create a cooler environment. A ceiling fan uses little energy and will allow you to raise your thermostat and still maintain a comfort level.

Energy Saving Tip #6

Close curtains and shades in the summer months to block sunlight, open curtains and shades in the winter months to help warm rooms. This will keep the temperature in your home steady and cause your equipment to run less.

Energy Saving Tip #7

Keep a minimum 12" clearance around your outdoor unit from vines, tall grasses, shrubs, etc.
