Did you know that your HVAC system can account for a third to a half of your total electricity bill? This fact compels us to start our energy conservation advice with the HVAC system.
Choose the right sized HVAC system and keep up with its maintenance if you want it to work without wasting energy. Oversized and undersized HVAC units can waste lots of energy. Neglected units can accumulate dirt and grime, which can interrupt components’ work and negatively affect efficiency.
Change the air filters once every two to three months and make sure airflow is uninterrupted. Remove obstacles from air vents and around the outdoor HVAC components. You can also hire a professional to inspect your unit for irregularities. A periodic tune-up can do wonders!
Did you turn off the air conditioner before leaving for work or did you leave it running? Both answers are the wrong answer if you want to save energy!
Leaving the AC on blast while you’re away is certainly going to waste energy, but did you know shutting off the unit every time you don’t need it can also be wasteful? It takes a lot of energy for the HVAC system to power on. Instead, adjust the thermostat to match the outdoor temperature.
You can also purchase a smart thermostat to do this for you. Smart thermostats get a hint of your usage habits and adjust accordingly. Some of these devices even allow you to control the thermostat from your smartphone or tablet!
HVAC is first, and lighting is second in energy consumption – especially in buildings with old lights. Replace your lightbulbs with LEDs to save BIG. These energy-efficient bulbs use up to 90 percent less energy and can last up to 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.
LED lights save big on electricity, but a light left on unnecessarily is always a waste. Smart lighting allows you to remotely control your lights using your smartphone or tablet. This means you can turn off the lights from your couch – in another city.
This also means you can better enjoy vacations! Simply get on your smartphone and turn on the lights in the kitchen during dinnertime and turn them on in the bedroom until later into the night. This should give potential trespassers the impression that you are home and not on vacation!
