Energy Saving Tips for your HVAC system on Earth Day

Sarasota, FL (April 21, 2014) - When you consider the biggest energy users in your home, your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system is at the top of the list. According to Energy Star, 46% of your combined energy use goes to heating and cooling*. Technicians at One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning® maintain and install these systems every day and offer these tips to save energy as we focus on the environment for Earth Day:

• Change your air filter regularly

 

Change your air filter monthly or as required by your system's manufacturer. A dirty air filter makes your system work harder and not as efficiently as possible. This can increase your energy use.

 

• Tune up your HVAC equipment

 

Having a professional tune up of your heating and cooling system can improve its efficiency and catch problems before they become costly.

 

• Install a programmable thermostat

 

These allow you to precisely control the temperature in your home. You can program it to use less energy while you're away or asleep at night.

 

• Seal your heating and cooling ducts

 

Ducts move air from your heating and cooling system through your home. You can help improve the efficiency of your system by sealing your ducts.
