Energy Saving Tips
At Vortex Air Conditioning, we understand the importance of heating and cooling your home efficiently. Listed below are a few heating and cooling energy saving tips that will help you to reduce your energy cost:
- Your heating and cooling systems should be at least 90% energy efficient.
- For your comfort, set your thermostat as high as comfortable in the summer and as low as comfortable in the winter. Clean or replace furnace or fan coil filters regularly.
- Clean baseboard heaters, radiators, and registers; nothing should block them.
- Check ducts, window seals, doors, electrical outlets, etc. for air leaks; they should be sealed with a high-quality caulk.
- Make sure that your home is properly insulated.
- If you have a fireplace that you don't use, make sure that it is plugged and sealed.
- Consider installing a fan for the entire house for cooling purposes.
- Installing storm doors and windows prevents air leaks and creates a layer of air.
