3 Ways to Reduce Heating and Cooling Costs and Be Energy Efficient

3 Ways to Reduce Heating and Cooling Costs and Be Energy Efficient

If you are tired of paying a fortune for high heating and cooling costs, you are not alone. While Minnesota may be known for having very long, cold winters, the summer months can be intensely warm. Many days of the year, you need to rely on your heating and cooling system to keep your home’s interior comfortable. So, you may be looking for effective ways to reduce energy costs throughout the year.

 

These tips from a leading heating and air conditioning contractor can help you to reduce energy expenses immediately.

Seal your doors and windows.
When your home is not well-sealed, the climate-controlled air that your HVAC system generates will escape outdoors, and the outside air will enter the home. When this happens, the HVAC system must work harder than necessary to complete the task of warming or cooling your home. Energy is, therefore, wasted. Simply re-sealing the doors and windows periodically can result in incredible energy savings. This is a simple weekend project that can pay off for you all year long.

Adjust your thermostat settings seasonally.
You may be aware that you can reduce energy consumption when you program your thermostat, but you may not be aware that you need to adjust the program settings seasonally. In the summer, it is best to program a higher setting during the day, when you are not home, for energy savings. In the winter, lowering the setting during day is a better option. As the seasons change, make the adjustment for savings.

Time your use of appliances.
You can also manage your use of some major appliances to save energy. Many appliances generate a significant amount of heat, such as the oven, range and dryer. When you use these during the day in the summer, you may increase the need for cool air, and this could increase energy costs. In the winter, the appliances may be strategically used to warm the home.

Reducing your energy costs may be a primary goal of many homeowners in Minnesota, and these tips can help you to reduce energy usage significantly. If you have yet to install HVAC equipment, or are considering overhauling your system to save on energy, heating and cooling contractors located near Edina and Minnetonka, such as Air Quality Services, can help you set up your main appliances for an energy-efficient home.
