Heating and cooling can account for as much as half of your home’s monthly energy usage. A smart thermostat observes patterns in your home and can deliver savings by automatically making proper adjustments.
Sometimes, small fixes can make a big difference when it comes to energy efficiency. Consider switching off your computer monitor during periods of non-use. The monitor itself uses more than half the system’s energy, and there’s really no reason to leave it on all night when it’s not being used.
According to the Department of Energy, you can save up to 10% on your heating and cooling costs by changing the temperature when you’re sleeping or out of the house. They even say you can save 1% per 1°F for an 8-hour period. https://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/guide_to_home_heating_cooling.pdf
Aerosol sprays can be very harmful to your home’s indoor air quality. Opt for non-aerosol versions of hairspray, deodorant, furniture polish and air fresheners to prevent the release of chemicals in your home.
Your comfort shouldn’t be at the mercy of the weather or external factors. When you use a whole-home comfort system, every part of the system works seamlessly together to provide cleaner, healthier air, and more control than ever.
Too much or too little moisture in a home isn’t just uncomfortable. It can be harmful to your health. Too much moisture can promote the growth of mold, fungus and dust mites, while a dry home can cause respiratory ailments and be bad for your skin.
A whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier can help protect you and your family against these and other air pollutants. Contact our team today to learn more.

The best way to save on utilities is by adjusting your thermostat back 8-10 degrees for 8 hours a day, according to the National Department of Energy.
With a programmable thermostat you don’t have to worry about remembering to adjust it, just set it to turn back whenever you’re asleep or away.
Did you know the appliances you cook with may cost you more than others? An oven uses much more energy than a toaster or microwave, so if you’re trying to save on utilities, use the smaller appliances as much as you can.

Be sure your outdoor air unit is clean and clear from any yard debris and be sure to schedule regular HVAC maintenance checkups to ensure your system is always in top shape.
Your HVAC filter isn’t the only thing working to keep your indoor air quality in check and your home healthy. Carpets and rugs act as their own filters that trap dust, dirt and other pollutants in their fibers. Cleaning them regularly helps ensure they can continue to work for you, keeping your IAQ up and you and your family healthy.

Why is regular maintenance on your home comfort system so important? You wouldn’t expect to buy a new car and never put air in the tires, change the oil or get unusual noises checked out. In the same way a car requires regular maintenance for optimal performance, a home comfort system should be inspected by a qualified technician to function at its best.
Are lingering odors a common problem in your home? While candles and air fresheners mask the problem, they don’t completely eliminate it. Often times, poor ventilation in a home is the source of the issue. A whole-home ventilation system offers an easy and innovative way to improve air circulation and reduce particle concentrations throughout your home.
