Saving money is what is on everyone’s mind these days. Every bit of savings counts! It is easy to unknowingly waste a good amount of energy and money if we aren’t careful. Here are some easy things to do to make sure you waste less. Your heating and air conditioning systems are a good place to start when it comes to savings! More than half the energy used goes into these systems. Bartlett Heating and Air will explain some very important tips to saving on these costs. First we can not stress this enough, change your air filter regularly! Dirty filters slow down the system, using more energy than necessary. Along with regularly changing your air filter, you should tune up your heating and cooling equipment yearly. Here at Bartlett Heating and Air, we offer unbeatable deals to help fit your budget. Now that you know to change your air filter and maintain your heating and cooling system all year round, final check is to make sure you switch to a programmable thermostat. If you haven’t gotten one already, it is time to do that now! A programmable thermostat can save you a bunch on energy cost every year.You set the thermostat to higher temps in the summer when you are not home and set it to lower temps in the winter. There is no use in heating and cooling your home when no one is there, that is a waste of energy and money. If you can put the condenser in a shaded spot, it wont have to work as hard wasting energy and raising your costs. In the summer close your blinds to keep light and heat out which makes you use the air conditioner less. Make sure your home is properly sealed and insulated, this keeps wasted energy to a minimum. In the winter you can wear more layers and not raise the heat so high to save money. You can upgrade your equipment to new energystar rated equipment. When something is energystar rated it means it was tested to be energy efficient and it saves you on your energy bills. When you have older equipment it uses more energy to run and costs you more. Finally, make sure your system is correctly sized. When the air conditioner an furnace are too big or too small for your home it takes up more energy and stresses the system which costs more and makes it go out faster.
