With winter coming up, your HVAC system will soon be working hard to keep your Broken Arrow home heated. This can lead to high energy bills all winter, but there are ways to prevent this from happening. Read on to find out how you can conserve HVAC energy during winter while having a warm and comfortable home.
Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance
HVAC maintenance helps ensure that your HVAC system is working right. HVAC technicians check for problems with your HVAC system during maintenance visits and take care of any issues that come up. This helps lower the risk of your HVAC system needing major repairs during the winter. With regular HVAC maintenance, your system will also run more efficiently, which means it won’t need to run as often or as long in order to heat your home. Having an efficient HVAC system is a good way to conserve HVAC energy and lower your energy bills.
Switch Your Thermostat
Replace your manual thermostat with a programmable or smart thermostat. These types of thermostats allow you to easily adjust the temperature in your home and have your heating system come on at certain times. With a smart thermostat, you can control your thermostat from anywhere on your smartphone or tablet. Being able to lower the temperature during certain times, such as when you’re out during the day, can help you conserve HVAC energy and save money on your bill.
Replace HVAC Filters
Don’t let your HVAC filters go too long without being changed. Otherwise, your HVAC system will have a harder time heating your home during the winter. Check your HVAC filters each month and replace them with new ones. This helps prevent you from having dusty or dirty HVAC filters in your home.
Prevent Drafts
Drafts of cold air can cause your HVAC system to run more often in order to heat your home. Seal up gaps that can let cold air in during winter and you’ll save energy when it’s cold out.
