With the holidays coming nearer, there is so much to do and so little time. If you plan to host a holiday celebration this year for your family and friends, you know that running your HVAC systems can cost your energy bills higher than usual! But that shouldn’t be the case.
At Equinox Air Conditioning, we want you and your guests to be happy and comfortable in your home, in the most cost-effective way possible, for the upcoming holiday season. So, we provide here some useful tips to improve the efficiency of your heating and air conditioning systems while reducing your energy costs!
Lower the Thermostat
Don’t forget to lower the thermostat! Many people ignore this, and instantly their house becomes more stuffy and overheats with the people gathering around. Decreasing the temperature will help you lower your energy bills!
Run Your Heat-Generating Appliance At Night
Appliances like a washer, dryer, or dishwasher produce extra heat when in use. Instead of running them in the daytime, try to run them in the night. If running them in the day, the extra heat they generate can cause the cooling system to kick on. By running these household appliances at night when the climate is colder, your air conditioning unit is less likely to turn on.
Keep It Clean
Ensure your heating and air conditioning units are well-maintained, and filters are either replaced or cleaned to obtain optimum efficiency. A dirty filter makes any HVAC system work harder, meaning more electricity consumption and higher energy costs!
Schedule An HVAC Inspection
A furnace, heat pump (geothermal), or boiler inspection can help! If you haven’t had a schedule for your annual maintenance, we recommend doing it now before it gets too cold and the chaos of the holidays is at risk. The checkup can catch minor issues before they become a more critical problem in the long run and give you peace of mind when entertaining guests or away from home for a holiday trip.
