ENERGY SAVINGS TIPS
3
1.
CLEAN OR REPLACE INDOOR RETURN AIR FILTER
A clean return air filter will allow for proper airflow and will ensure that your system is running
at its optimum performance and efficiency. Check your air filter every 30 days during cooling
and heating seasons, and clean or replace it if its dirty.
2.
INSTALL A PROGRAMMABLE, WI-FI, SMART THERMOSTAT
A programmable Wi-Fi smart thermostat will allow you to monitor and control your homes
cooling and heating temperature settings from a smart phone, tablet, or computer whenever
you are away. They are designed to provide comfort and energy savings by using algorithms
and operating history to adjust the operating settings throughout the day.
3.
ADJUST THERMOSTAT SETTINGS
Programming an occupied & unoccupied schedule throughout the week will not only save
energy, it will also reduce the wear and prolong the lifespan of your equipment by preventing
the system from operating when it is not necessary.
4.
ROOMS EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT
In the cooling season it is recommended to block the radiant heat effect from the sun by
closing all window coverings during the daytime.
In the heating season it is recommended to open all window covers to allow for the radiant
heat from the sun to help warm the spaces being conditioned.
5.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
Keeping the area around the outdoor unit clear from any debris or leaves will allow for your
system to run at its optimum performance and efficiency in both cooling and heating
seasons.
Scheduling a pre-season routine maintenance to be performed by a licensed HVAC
contractor can improve the systems efficiency and the comfort you experience during both
cooling and heating seasons.
