Three Ways to Ensure Energy-Efficient Cooling & Heating for Your Home

Keeping your home comfort system operating at its best and most efficient doesn’t have to be a chore – here are some ways you can ensure that you’re getting the best energy efficiency in your home:

Upgrade Your HVAC System for Maximum Efficiency

An outdated HVAC system may be costing you more than you realize. Upgrading to an energy-efficient system, such as a geothermal system, can enhance performance while lowering your utility bills. Look for systems with high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings and ENERGY STAR® certification for optimal savings and reliability.

Seal Air Leaks and Improve Insulation

A well-sealed and insulated home prevents conditioned air from escaping, ensuring your HVAC system doesn’t have to work overtime. Check for air leaks around windows, doors, and ductwork, and seal them with caulk or weatherstripping. Adding insulation to attics and walls can also help maintain consistent indoor temperatures.

Prioritize Regular Maintenance

Simple maintenance tasks can significantly improve your HVAC system’s performance and lifespan. Replace air filters every 1–3 months, clean vents and registers, and schedule professional maintenance to keep your system running efficiently. A well-maintained system uses less energy and keeps your home comfortable no matter the season.

By following these steps, you’ll not only save energy in your home, but also help your HVAC system last longer and keep you and your family more comfortable!
