Energy Saving Tips

As utility costs continue to climb, homeowners look for simple ways to conserve energy and improve air quality. With a bit of time and effort, minor adjustments quickly add up to significant savings and a healthier home environment. It’s as easy as opening and closing your drapes. Keep draperies or shades open during winter days to allow the sun to heat your home, but close them at night to reduce the chill from cold windows. Closing shades and curtains in summer helps prevent overheating, reducing the need for air conditioning and improving indoor air quality by preventing excess humidity and heat buildup. By being mindful of these simple practices, homeowners can lower energy costs while also creating a more comfortable, healthy living space.

Ducts that move air to-and-from forced air furnaces, central AC, and heat pumps can be energy-wasters. Sealing and insulating ducts can boost the efficiency of your heating and cooling system by up to twenty percent. Contaminants sometimes build up inside return ductwork. The average six-room residence collects forty pounds of dust each year.

No matter what type of heating and cooling system you have, properly maintained equipment operates more efficiently.

Clean or replace air filters as recommended once a month. Clean warm-air registers, baseboard heaters and radiators regularly. Make sure they are not blocked by drapes, furniture or carpeting.

With the installation of a programmable thermostat, you can conveniently adjust your home temperature for when you are typically away from home or asleep. By turning your thermostat back as little as seven to ten degrees Fahrenheit, eight hours a day, you’ll save as much as ten percent each year on heating and cooling.
