It won’t take much of your time, just three yet very efficient things, and you will be saving a lot on utility bills and know you will be more eco-friendly. Giving back to the environment does not involve any large costly endeavors, they can be little things that, when inculcated as a habit, aren’t even thought about or very stressful.
1. Thermostat Temperature:
Having a programmable thermostat can help save a lot of money on energy costs and they are convenient. When you are not at home, set your HVAC unit controls lower/ higher as per the requirement depending upon the season. There is an energy waste that drives up your electricity bill when your HVAC unit is on when you aren’t home. Also, sticking with a constant temperature will help you save energy efficiently.
2. Maintenance:
It is a good way to see faulty items before they actually become a big problem causing a lot of costs. A yearly or bi-yearly maintenance might seem costly but is exactly the opposite of it. Getting your HVAC unit checked completely in spring or fall can help you prevent the unit from any sudden breakdown and will increase the efficiency of the HVAC unit. Cleaning the unit regularly and lubricating all the parts will help in the efficient working of the unit.
3. Filters:
If not every month, at least once in 3 months you should change your filters or check them if the change is required. This will help you in being more energy-efficient. Dirty filters will slow down the airflow and will make it work harder. This will make the system work hard for the same job costing you a defeat in energy efficiency.
In 3 simple steps, you can save a lot on your energy bills and make your HVAC unit efficient.
