Summer is here, meaning there is plenty of work for your HVAC system. However, just because you need to keep cool and comfortable, that doesn’t mean you have to pay high energy bills. AirWorks, Inc., your trusted HVAC repair and installation specialist, can help you keep costs down by providing tips on making your HVAC unit more efficient.
Replace Your Fuses Regularly
An HVAC unit fuse is designed to last longer than the fuses in your heater and air conditioner. That said, replace your fuses regularly if you want your HVAC to perform efficiently. Make sure to schedule a professional inspection so they can check and replace your fuses. This is not a DIY project, as replacing the fuses can disrupt the power supply and cause injury.
Use a Programmable Thermostat
As an air conditioner repair expert, we suggest purchasing a programmable thermostat because it is one of the easiest ways to save on your utility bills. According to the Department of Energy, increasing your home’s temperature in summer and dropping it in winter by 10 to 15 degrees for eight hours can have a significant effect on your bills. A programmable thermostat makes it easier to achieve this since it allows you to schedule automatic temperature changes.
Improve Your Attic Ventilation
Making sure your attic is well-ventilated is an often overlooked part of improving a home’s energy efficiency. Good attic ventilation prevents heat and moisture buildup in your attic because of improved air flow. This can reduce attic temperatures and make it much easier for your air conditioner to keep you comfortable in summer. Remember that there are several factors to consider when making your attic ventilation better. We suggest working with a professional.
