Save Energy This Winter With Existing Equipment

You don't have to invest in expensive new heating equipment this Winter to start saving energy. Follow some of these quick tips to help save both money and energy:

• Install a programmable thermostat: This is great for regulating energy costs when you're not home and for automatically adjusting your home's climate during different times of day and night. You can realize energy savings of approximately $180 annually with a programmable thermostat.
  
  
• Change air filters often: Changing air filters in your HVAC system monthly during peak usage, and every three months otherwise can help with improving the efficiency of your system, which works harder and produces less air when dealing with a dirty filter. Changing filters is the easiest and most economical thing your can do for improving home energy savings.
  
  
• Performing your annual HVAC inspection, tune-up, or heating repair can save money, but if you have any concerns, please contact a licensed HVAC contractor. HVAC contractors can recommend ideas for energy savings and assist with reducing your air conditioning and heating costs.
