Spring is here in Burlington, and it won’t be long until summer comes along. Are you looking for ways to cut down on air conditioning and lower your energy bills? Follow these tips from LM Wilson to save energy this spring.
Turn up the thermostat
Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible during spring and summer months. Each degree you raise the temperature can significantly reduce your air conditioning costs.
Programmable thermostats
Programmable thermostats have zoning capabilities that allow you to cool different areas of your home separately. This increases your HVAC system’s efficiency, keeping you cool only in the rooms you need to use. Also, a smart thermostat will allow you to control your home’s temperature and humidity levels with just a touch of your smartphone or tablet.
Save energy with ceiling fans
Turn on your ceiling fans in rooms you frequently use in order to turn up the thermostat while still feeling comfortable. Make sure to set fans to the forward setting for a cooling effect. And when fall and winter come around, you can switch your fans to reverse and actually make rooms feel warmer! Fans offer a simple way to cut down on HVAC costs.
Close blinds
Windows let in sunlight that can raise the home’s temperature several degrees. Close your window blinds to keep the A/C unit from constantly blowing cold air and running up the energy bill.
