Smart thermostats adjust temperatures based on your habits and outside weather. They help you avoid cooling your home when no one’s around saving energy automatically.
Dirty filters reduce airflow and force your system to work harder. Replacing filters every 1–3 months improves air quality and system performance.
Ceiling fans help distribute cool air more evenly, allowing you to set your thermostat a few degrees higher without sacrificing comfort. It’s a small change that can lead to noticeable savings.
If your cooled air is escaping through gaps around windows or poorly insulated walls, your HVAC system will work harder than necessary. Seal leaks and consider insulation upgrades for long-term efficiency.
Older systems often run inefficiently, especially during heavy use. A new, energy-efficient AC or heat pump can significantly reduce cooling costs while keeping your home more comfortable.
