Small steps can pack a big punch when it comes to your heating and cooling system’s performance. For example, routinely changing your system’s air filters allows for better, more breathable air; lower energy bills; and increased smoothness and efficiency in the operation of your heating and cooling equipment! Knowing how to conduct regular, routine maintenance is important and can help you cut costs.

Additionally, these tips can help you save money and encourage system efficiency:

• Change your fan direction every season – Did you know that your fans should rotate counter-clockwise during the summer and clockwise during the winter? Simply use the switch located at the base of each fan to flip the direction of the blades. It’s easy!
• Cleaning makes a difference – That’s right: Regular dusting and vacuuming indoors can actually drastically improve the efficiency of your HVAC system! This is because cleaning reduces the amount of dust, pet dander, pollen, and other pollutants clogging your system’s air filter. If you have pets, speak with your AC and heater provider about installing a denser filter.
• Get ready for the next season – Before the winter months arrive, schedule a furnace evaluation so as to ensure that your heating system is safe and prepared to function properly throughout the season. As summer approaches, contact an AC repair specialist to check your coolant levels and to strip down the system’s condenser.
• Check your thermostat – Adjusting the reading on your thermostat by as little as five degrees can add up to significant savings over time.
