Let’s explore some easy-to-implement strategies:

Be a Thermostat Whisperer: Your thermostat is the control center for comfort. A programmable thermostat allows you to adjust temperatures when you’re away or sleeping. Even a small bump of 2-3 degrees in summer can make a big difference in energy use. Read more about where to get a programmable thermostat.
Embrace the Power of Fans: Ceiling fans circulate cool air, making you feel cooler without cranking the AC. In summer, run them counter-clockwise to create a refreshing downdraft.
Seal the Deal: Leaky ducts waste energy by forcing your HVAC to work harder. Regularly inspect ducts for gaps and call Freeze and Flare for professional sealing to ensure cool air reaches where it’s needed.
Change is Good (Especially for Air Filters): A clogged air filter restricts airflow, reducing efficiency. Replace your filter monthly during peak cooling and heating seasons to keep your system running smoothly.
Schedule Checkups: Regular maintenance by a qualified technician like the friendly folks at Freeze and Flare can identify and address minor issues before they turn into energy-guzzling problems. A well-maintained HVAC system runs more efficiently, using less energy to cool or heat your home. This translates to lower energy bills and a reduced environmental footprint.
