With spring flowers opening up and summer just around the corner, homeowners are looking for ways to make their homes more energy-efficient and eco-friendly. Your heating and cooling system works hard and consumes a lot of energy, especially during Aurora’s frigid winters and hot, humid summers. Our experts here at Service Plus Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. put together a list of tips for maximizing your home’s energy efficiency. Take a look:
1. Get a Programmable Thermostat
The best thing you can do for your home in terms of streamlining its energy usage is to install a programmable thermostat. With this type of thermostat, you can set the desired temperature to change throughout the day, especially when you’re away at work and don’t need your air conditioning working at full blast to cool down an empty house.
2. Seal Your Home’s Air Ducts
Your air ducts are the system that transports air from your HVAC to other rooms of your home. When your ducts are leaky, they can lose up to 30% of that air, meaning your furnace and air conditioner have to work much harder to achieve the same results. Our expert technicians at Service Plus Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. will inspect the ducts and patch up any leaks we find to increase your home’s energy efficiency.
3. Routine Maintenance
Your furnace and air conditioner work hard throughout the year to keep your home comfortable in even the most extreme of Aurora’s weather. That hard work can cause wear and tear on your system, reducing its energy efficiency and raising your home’s energy bills. A routine inspection by our team at Service Plus Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. will identify any issues before they become major, and also give us an opportunity to clean and tune up your machine.
