General Tips for All Seasons

• Consider a programmable thermostat to save you money and maintain a consistent climate in your home.
• Keep your HVAC system well-maintained throughout the year. This includes filters, ducts and more
• Turn off lights when you leave the house entirely.
• Close all doors and windows to keep your system operating economically.
• Reduce the amount of direct sunlight by keeping shades closed.
• Clean the lint out of the dryer after every load so the machine does not have to waste energy.
•  Keep your refrigerator, freezer and oven doors shut so as not to let cool or hot air escape.
• Install fans throughout your house to cut your energy bill dramatically.
• Keep your heating and a/c filters clean. Ask us at Climate Air Limited what the proper filter is for your home!
• Fix any leaks.
• Do not block AC vents inside the house with rugs or furniture.
• Set the thermostat as close to the outside temperature as comfortably possible.

Summer Tips

• Have your equipment inspected by Climate Air Limited before the first heat wave comes.
• AC units can only cool down an area so quickly. Make sure you do not wait until your home is unbearably hot before turning it on.
• Install an attic fan – it can cool your attic by nearly 30°!
• Keep your blinds and curtains closed to keep excess heat out
•  White blinds and window treatments will reflect the sunlight away from your house.
• Plant trees and shrubbery around your outside unit to keep it shaded. Your system will use 10% less electricity than a unit in the direct sunlight.
• Keep debris away from outdoor unit and keep the AC coils clean.
• Planting trees around your house and windows will limit the direct sunlight and improve operational costs.
• Do not put lamps and electronic devices that produce heat too close to a thermostat, because it may cause the thermostat to think the house is warmer than it actually is.
• Have your air conditioning system checked by a professional to make sure it is running efficiently.
• Do not overly adjust your thermostat. Raising it a couple of degrees while you are away will help you reduce energy consumption by around 4%.
• Set your thermostat to “fan on” status when cooling your house to keep air circulating.
