Optimize Your Air Ducts & Vents

You should consider closing vents in seldom or unused rooms, and keeping the doors to these rooms closed. We can test for leaks and properly seal and insulate air ducts, especially those running through basements, crawl spaces and attics.

Hot Stuff

When possible, delay heat-generating appliances such as dishwashers, dryers, vacuums, and other major appliances until evening on hot days.

Evening Breezes Only

Keep windows closed durring the day. This sounds simple, but many people forget to close the windows in the morning, thereby letting hot air into the house during the day. If you keep windows open at all, be sure to have proper security to deter theft. An open window is an open invitation.

Cooling the Cooler

Provide shade for your room AC or outside central AC unit. You can increase the efficiency of your unit by as much as 10%. Follow manufacturers guidlines so you don't block crucial air flow.

Going, Going, Gone

Most people believe that if they are only going to be gone for an hour or two, it is more cost-effective to leave the air conditioner running. Generally speaking this isn't true. The rule of thumbs is that it is better to turn off your air conditioner if you are leaving the house for more than 1 hour.

The Secret Weapon

Use ceiling fans to circulate air when using higher thermostat settings for a cool, comfortable feeling while saving energy. Ceiling fans can cost less than $30 at your local hardware store, and are generally far more effective than using the air conditioner. Combine the fans with a higher thermostat setting for optimum comfort and savings. Call us and we'll help you determine where the most efficient locations will be in your home or office.

Summer Thermostat Settings

Set your thermostat for 78 degrees F or higher.
