Energy Saving Tips for your HVAC system on Earth Day

HORSHAM, Pa. - April 22, 2014 - PRLog -- When you consider the biggest energy users in your home, your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) is at the top of the list. According to * Energy Star, 46% of your combined energy use goes to heating and cooling. Our expert technicians at Stauffer's One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning ® maintain and install these systems every day for residents of Montgomery County, PA (northwest of Philadelphia). And we offer these tips to save energy as we focus on being good stewards of the environment for Earth Day:

Change your air filter regularly

Change your air filter monthly or as required by your system’s manufacturer. A dirty air filter makes your system work harder and not as efficiently as possible. This can increase your energy use.

Tune up your HVAC equipment

Having a professional tune up of your heating and cooling system can improve its efficiency and catch problems before they become costly.

Install a programmable thermostat

These allow you to precisely control the temperature in your home. You can program it to use less energy while you’re away or asleep at night. More information at: http://www.stauffersonehour.com/thermostats.html

Seal your heating and cooling ducts

Ducts move air from your heating and cooling system through your home. You can help improve the efficiency of your system by sealing your ducts.
