Change your air filters regularly:
Dirty air filters can restrict airflow and cause your HVAC system to work harder than it needs to, leading to increased energy consumption and potential breakdowns. Make sure to change your air filters regularly, ideally every 1-3 months, depending on the type of filter and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
-
Clean your outdoor unit:
Your HVAC system’s outdoor unit can become clogged with dirt, leaves, and other debris, which can impede its performance. Take the time to clean the unit by removing any debris and gently rinsing it with a garden hose. Be sure to turn off the power to the unit before cleaning it.
-
Check your thermostat:
Make sure your thermostat is functioning correctly and set to the desired temperature. If you have an older thermostat, consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat, which can help you save energy and money by automatically adjusting the temperature based on your schedule and preferences.

Seal air leaks and insulate:
Air leaks and inadequate insulation can cause your HVAC system to work harder than necessary to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home. Inspect your home for air leaks around doors, windows, and other openings, and seal them with weatherstripping or caulk. Additionally, ensure your attic and walls are properly insulated to help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
