Go Green & Stay Cool
Earth Day is a great time to evaluate our home and habits to make sure we’re as energy efficient as possible and challenge ourselves to take steps toward a greener planet.
Use the tips below to save energy (and money) while appreciating our wonderful planet:
- Thermostat: Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat. These products can learn your habits and increase/decrease your thermostat to conserve energy while keeping you comfortable.
- Insulate: Check your insulation; seal any cracks in your windows and doors to conserve energy and increase your home’s efficiency. Adding an insulating blanket to an older water heater will also help it work better while reducing energy costs.
- Maintain: Schedule annual maintenance for your HVAC system to ensure it operates at peak efficiency. This includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting ductwork for leaks.
- Laundry: Wash your clothes with cold water and wait to do laundry until you have full loads. This helps save money on your utility bills and helps save on your laundry detergent.
- Air filters: Regularly change air filters to maintain proper airflow and improve indoor air quality. Aim to check and replace filters every one to three months, depending on usage.
- Replace: Replacing your old, inefficient comfort system with a modern, energy-efficient one can have significant long-term benefits. You’ll enjoy improved comfort and reliability and see substantial utility savings for years to come.
By investing in a high-efficiency HVAC system, you’ll reduce your environmental impact and save money on your energy bills, contributing to a more sustainable future for our planet.
