Do you know the number one reason for high utility bills? It's the weather. Honest! Hot summer or cold winter months cause us to use our heating and cooling units more. The cost to operate these high-energy consuming appliances is expensive and accounts for a large percentage of your utility bill. The good news is there are some proven ways to reduce energy consumption of these units and still maintain a sufficient level of comfort. Here are 4 save energy tips to help reduce your monthly heating and cooling bill: 1. During summer months set your air conditioning unit on 78 degrees or warmer. Using a variable speed ceiling fan to help circulate room air makes the room feel cooler. When no one is going to be home raise the thermostat to 82 degrees or warmer. No point in keeping a cool room if no one is in it. 2. Place the heating unit thermostat on 68 degrees or cooler in winter months. Save more by lowering the unit to 65 degrees at bedtime or when no one is going to be home. 3. Replace your air condition or heating filter each month it is in use. Units run much more efficiently when filters are clean and that helps reduce the cost of operation. 4. Have your units serviced annually to ensure it's working at maximum capacity. It's not difficult to apply these save energy tips. Small adjustments can lead to nice savings so don't wait another day or waste another kilowatt. Get started today.
