Stay on top of annual HVAC maintenance.
Spring is the best time to work your way through that home maintenance to-do list that’s piled up over the winter months. Regular preventative maintenance on your heating and cooling system ensures that it not only runs well but minimizes energy waste. When your machine is running at peak efficiency, it uses less energy. Not to mention, it reduces your utility bill. During your professional tune-up, we’ll run an energy efficiency test to ensure its operating at its peak. We’ll clean or replace air filters, and make sure all internal components are functioning well, too. If there’s anything amiss, we’ll get it repaired or adjusted. Professional maintenance gives you peace of mind. You’ll be doing your part for the environment and also helping save money.
Install a programmable thermostat.
When was the last time you checked your thermostat? A faulty thermostat could cause your machine to work harder than it has to. This translates to increased energy use! Consider installing a programmable thermostat for your home or office to help. These are affordable and can save money! Simply program the thermostat to turn back 7°-10°F for up to eight hours a day, then program it to turn back up when you return. By doing this, you’re minimizing your energy use. In fact, the Department of Energy estimates that the average customer can save as much as 10% a year on heating and cooling costs.
This Earth Day, think about how you can love the world you live in. Making a conscious decision to keep it safe and beautiful for future generations is key. It starts with simple to-dos in your home. So, whether you start recycling more, decide to ride your bike more instead of drive, or set annual reminders to call our team for a tune-up appointment, now’s a great time to start!
Let us help you reach your Earth Day goals. We look forward to helping you schedule a tune-up, provide a quote for a new EnergyStar® rated HVAC system, air purifier, or programmable thermostat. Call us today!
