As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. So making smart decisions about your home's
heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills — and your comfort. Take these
steps to increase the efficiency of your heating and cooling system.
Check your 1" furnace filter every month, especially during heavy use months (winter and summer). If the filter looks dirty after a
month, change it. At a minimum, change the filter every 2 months. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work
harder to keep you warm or cool — wasting energy. A clean filter will also prevent dust and dirt from building up in the system —
leading to expensive maintenance and/or early system failure.
Most families are on a budget, so following these tips will help keep your bills down and maintenance to a minimum.
