Green Heating and Air Conditioning Energy Saving Tips


* Seal your windows and doorways with caulk or weather strips.
* Install or replace door sweeps at the bottom of your doors.
* During all seasons do not block any supply air outlets or return registers with furniture or other objects.
* Look for a high-efficiency model when shopping for a new gas heating furnace, the latest models can give you up to 98% efficiency and if you have an old furnace this can really add up into big savings.
* During the air conditioning season simple measures such as cleaning and replacing you air filters can reduce cooling costs by up to 10%.
* An annual maintenance service will both extend the life of your expensive air conditioning system and increases efficiency which saves you even more energy.
* When running your air conditioning check your air filter every month during the cooling season and replace when it is dirty.
* Your systems duct work could be costing you. Leaking joints, elbows and connections can increase energy consumption up to 20 or 30%. Don't use duct tape, it's strange yes but that stuff does not work well on ducts. * When running the air conditioning close your drapes or blinds to help keep the heat outside.
* Install window tint, there are some brands that can reduce the radiated heat by up to 70%
* Best place for your outdoor air conditioning unit is the north side of your home, you can also just shade your air conditioner from any direct sunlight with shruds but make sure to keep them clear of the unit to allow for proper air flow.
* During the Air Conditioning Season you can adjust your thermostat up, for every degree above 72 you can save up to 3% more.
* Don't cool Mother nature... Close your windows, doors and even your chimney dampers when using your air conditioner. Any unused rooms should be closed off to cut cooling costs but keep in mind do not close more the just two or three supply registers as the reduced air flow has an impact on efficiency of the system.
* Look for a high-efficiency model when shopping for a new air conditioner, the latest models can give you up to 50% in savings over your old clunker.
