3 Ways to Maximize Energy and Minimize Costs
When entertaining guests this holiday, you want your Madison County area home to be comfortable—in the most cost-effective way possible—which is why the HVAC experts at Ernst Heating & Cooling have put together helpful advice to lower your heating and cooling costs while getting the most out of your HVAC system!
Lower Your Home’s Thermostat
The holidays means holiday parties and celebrations with family and friends. If your loved ones are traveling to your Madison County home this holiday, don’t forget to lower the thermostat! Many people forget to do this, and their house becomes stuffy and overheated with the gathering of people and use of appliances like the oven. Reducing the temperature will help lower your energy bills—make use of your oven and leave it opened once you’re done using it! Why not make use of the extra heat source?
Run Heat-Generating Appliances at Night
Appliances like your washer and dryer or your dishwasher produce extra heat with in use. Instead of running these during the day, run them overnight. If started midday, the extra heat generated by the appliances can cause your home’s cooling system to kick on—even when it isn’t warm outside! By running these systems at night when it’s cooler, your AC unit is less likely to turn on.
Schedule an HVAC Inspection
A furnace, geothermal heat pump, or boiler inspection can’t hurt—it can only help! If you haven’t already scheduled your annual tune-up, we recommend doing so before it gets too cold and the chaos of the holidays is upon us. Heating system maintenance can catch minor issues before they become major problems and give you peace of mind when you’re entertaining or traveling.
