Use
these six energy-saving tips from GreenPro Cleaning & Restoration
to keep warm this season without breaking the bank...
1. Invest in a programmable thermostat.
A programmable thermostat allows you to preset your desired home
temperature for different times of the day and days of the week. This
can save you money by automatically using less energy when the house
is empty or everyone is asleep.
2. Switch your ceiling fan direction.
Did you know the direction in which your ceiling fan rotates can
influence the air flow of the room? During the colder months, set the
blades to rotate clockwise. This will push warm air that has gathered
near the ceiling back down into the room.
3. Tune up your heating system.
Scheduling a tune up for your heating system each year isn't just a
good idea; many HVAC manufacturers actually require it. A
professional tune up can help reduce energy consumption, prevent
breakdowns, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
4. Upgrade your home's insulation.
Improving your insulation can reduce the amount of warm air that
escapes from your home, thus saving you money. This could be as
simple as sealing air leaks with weatherstripping, or using draft
guards on your doors and windows.
5. Change your air filters.
Your furnace has an air filter that needs to be cleaned or replaced
on a regular basis. Dirty filters allow dust and dirt to enter your
heating system, resulting in increased wear-and-tear and energy
consumption.
6. Have your air ducts professionally cleaned.
If you have never cleaned your air ducts, chances are good they are
coated in a thick layer of dust and dirt. This accumulation of debris
limits air flow, and makes your furnace work harder to heat your
home. Not to mention the negative impact it can have on your indoor
air quality.
