TIPS & TRICKS FOR KEEPING YOUR HVAC RUNNING SMOOTHLY 24/7

While regular maintenance is the best way to ensure a functioning and reliable HVAC system, there are some do-it-yourself tips that you can do between checkups to help keep your cooling and heating unit healthy and help you save money. Curious? Try these:

Do these in the summer...

AC MAINTENANCE TIPS

Turn the thermostat up two to three degrees in the summer.
Use your air conditioning moderately.
Draw curtains and blinds during the day.
Invest in solar blocking shades.
Choose light-colored roof shingles if you’re building a new home (these will reflect sunlight).
Be certain your attic is properly ventilated.
Run appliances such as the dishwasher and washer/dryer in the evening rather during the day.
Don’t block vents with furniture.
Keep lamps, TVs, and other devices away from your wall-mounted thermostat. (Rising heat can cause your AC to over cool your house and increase your energy bills.

Try these tips in the winter...

HEATING SYSTEM & FURNACE MAINTENANCE TIPS

Place the thermostat on an inside wall, away from doors and windows.
Set the thermostat two to three degrees lower than normal in the wintertime. Each degree over 68 degrees can add 3% to the amount of energy needed to heat your home.
Set ceiling fans to run in a clockwise direction at low speed. This pushes warm air from the ceiling to the floor.
Turn the thermostat down when you are having gathers and during sleeping hours.
Invest in a smart thermostat. These devices learn your home patterns and will adjust your indoor temperature accordingly—which will save you money.

INSULATION

Make sure your home is properly insulated. This is the single most important step in conserving energy. Thermal insulation should be specified in terms of thermal resistance (R-values). R-30 (10″) is recommended for ceilings, and R-11 (3-1/2”) for exterior walls and floors over unheated areas. In colder climates, consider additional insulation.
Infiltration of humid outside air is your heating and air conditioning system’s worst enemy—it could account for 15% to 30% of air conditioning energy requirements. Find the places where air can sneak into the home and plug them with caulking, weather-stripping or plastic. Also, weather-strip and caulk around all entrance doors and windows.
Cut heat transfer through your windows by 40% to 50% with double-glazing (two panes of glass separated by a sealed air space) and low-e glass.
Use wood- or metal-frame storm windows even if single-glazed windows are high quality. The extra layer of glass and the layer of still air will cut heat transfer considerably.
Install storm doors at all entrances to your house.
Keep all windows and doors closed.
Remember that by increasing the glass area, you increase the amount of heat added in summer and lost in winter.
Make sure fireplaces have tight-fitting dampers, which can be closed when the fireplace is not in use. Invest in a humidifier to conserve energy in winter. The air in your home won’t be as dry, so you stay comfortable at a lower temperature setting.
