Cooling And Heating Systems Represent Half Of The Energy Used In A Typical Home.

Here Are Some Ways You Can Cut Those Energy Costs Without Sacrificing Comfort.

1.    Regularly maintain your air conditioning system by a licensed professional HVAC company.
2.    Change your ac filters and furnace filters every 30 days.
3.    Set your thermostat at 78 degrees when at home. Bump it up a few degrees if you are going to be gone for several hours.
4.    Install a programmable thermostat.
5.    When buying a central air conditioning system, pick the right size for your home. One that is too small or too big will not work efficiently.
6.    Use a microwave, toaster over or crockpot instead of the oven.
7.    Keep curtains and blinds closed during the day.
8.    Use CFL bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs. CFL’s generate less heat and use less energy.
9.    Run energy-efficient ceiling fans when you are home.
10. Plant shade trees around your property.
