Get Your Air Conditioning System Serviced


One of the least expensive long-term money-saving tips is regular investment in your AC system. Get your HVAC unit serviced regularly—at least once a year—to ensure it performs optimally. Coils need cleaning, voltage connections need checking and refrigerant levels need topping off. 


Replace Your HVAC Air Filter


Air filters keep your AC system running smoothly because they stop dust from blocking your air vents. If your HVAC filter is filled with dirt and debris, air can’t circulate as easily. Air filters need replacing every six months or so—and more often if you have kids or pets. Luckily, they’re cheap and pretty easy to replace.


Insulate Your Walls & Attics


Inefficient windows leak air—and so do badly insulated crawl spaces, walls and attics. Older homes in particular can be notoriously leaky. If your home is on the leakier side, improve your insulation to make your home more comfortable and save money on your utility bills.


Upgrade Your Windows


Energy-efficient windows help you take charge of your utility bills. In the winter, they keep heat in—and in the summer, they keep heat out. Some high-quality windows come with low-emissivity, or low-E, glass, which reflects long infrared waves to keep your home cooler. Other energy-saving options include anti-reflective and tinted windows.

Energy intensity in buildings is the energy consumed per square foot of floorspace. U.S. commercial buildings in hot or very hot climates, which are primarily in the southernmost parts of the country, were more than six times more energy-intensive for cooling (14.2 thousand British thermal units per square foot [MBtu/sf]) than buildings in cold or very cold climates (2.3 MBtu/sf).
