Get the Most Out of Your HVAC Unit: Tips for Lowering Your Energy Bill
With the holidays right around the corner, you probably are hoping to save money anywhere you can. Why not start with your energy bill? Your HVAC unit can be a big part of why your energy bill can be so high or so low, depending on how often you use it. There are many reasons why your energy bill could be high each month. One reason is you could have an out of date HVAC unit and your air isn't being distributed as efficiently as it could be with a newer unit. If you find yourself wanting to purchase a new HVAC unit at the Lake of the Ozarks, call Wall's HVAC Service today at 573-286-4155. Keep reading for a few tips for lowering your energy bill.
Make sure all windows and doors are completed shut and sealed.
Doing so can allow your HVAC unit to run more efficiently, thus saving you money on your energy bill. Don't allow air to be wasted by letting it run through cracks in your windows or partially opened doors. You should also check the weather stripping on your doors and make sure it is applied correctly.
Check all vents to see if they are open.
You can keep vents closed in rooms you don't use often but make sure the vents in rooms you do use most of the time are open. If they aren't you could be tempted to turn your AC down even more which will cause it to work harder and make your energy bill higher.
Regularly change your air filter.
Your filter should be changed at a minimum of once every 6 months. Although, it doesn't hurt to at least check it once a month for dirt and debris. If your filter does have a lot of dirt and debris on it, this can cause your AC to work harder than it needs to, which can also make your energy bill higher.
