At Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air, we think it’s great that you want to save a few bucks on your monthly energy costs, which is why we assembled this list for you to consider:
- Change your home’s air filter. It’s likely the most referenced homeowner task from heating and cooling companies, but it really does make a huge difference. Dirty air filters block air flow and make it difficult for your air conditioner to do its job – which means your comfort isn’t its best.
- Seal your home’s ducts. According to the folks at ENERGY STAR, most homes can lose between 20 and 30 percent of the air that passes through them because of duct leaks and other duct issues.
- Open your vents. It’s an awfully common mistake among homeowners, but keeping rooms closed and vents shut in seldom used rooms doesn’t necessarily mean you save money. Keeping all of your vents open helps the system accomplish its job because airflow isn’t being inhibited.
- Air conditioner service. Pros recommend that you set up air conditioner service with Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air. Any time you have air conditioner headaches and your comfort is being jeopardized, call in the experts.
