We all love to save money in every way we can. Our HVAC system is one of the biggest energy users on our bills each month. There are some things you can do to help lower those bills. Here are a few things you might want to put into action. When you are not using major appliances, take the plug out. This goes for your microwave oven, even your phone charger. Even the smallest thing plugged in will draw power and raise your bills slowly. Make sure you optimize the situation when you open and/or close vents in order to control the heat in your home. Don’t be afraid to turn your furnace lower when no one is home or at night when you are all sleeping. You’ll save money this way. For warm air, set your ceiling fan to spin clockwise. Remember something very important, which is to change the filters on a regular basis. Not doing so could cost you efficiency and money because dirty filters put more strain on your system! Sealing up cracks to keep out cold air helps. One of the most important things is getting your furnace cleaned and checked each fall. Bartlett Heating and Air has a $59 furnace clean and check special going on right now so call us today!
