5 Tips for Home Energy Efficiency

Energy-efficient is a word every homeowner loves to hear when choosing their appliances. Who doesn’t want to save money while conserving their energy? We want to show you a few different ways to save money and energy.

Replace Old Air Conditioning Units

If you notice your energy bills are higher than usual, it may be time to replace your old unit with an energy-efficient air conditioning unit. According to energy.gov, by replacing your air conditioner with a newer, more efficient model, you can save 20-40 percent of your cooling energy costs.

Replace Air Filters

Air filters are a crucial part of your system. Not only do they ensure you are breathing clean, safe air, but they also keep your system lining clean as well. Air filters are relatively easy and cheap to replace, and this easy step can help save you money. According to energy.gov, replacing your air filters can help save your energy consumption by five to fifteen percent.

Install Ductless Air Conditioners

Installing a ductless AC in your home is always one of our top recommendations. A huge advantage of installing a ductless AC is in the name; there are no ducts! Central air conditioning units supply your home with air through ducts. These ducts not only take longer to cool and heat your home but can also get tears that will cause you to lose energy. By having a system without ducts, you will save energy, turning into more money in your pockets.

Along with saving you money, ductless AC allows you to cool and heat your home in zones. This makes it easy to adjust in some regions of your home, depending on your preference. Give us a call today to help you decide if ductless is the way to go for your home

Invest in a Smart Thermostat

If you don’t already have a smart thermostat, it’s time to get one. This technology is the cherry on top of your energy-efficient home. By programming your home’s temperature, you can save money and energy. A smart thermostat allows you to set a schedule for your home. Some even have smart features that learn how you like to keep your home and automatically adjust to cool and heat your home in the most energy-efficient way.
