Energy-Efficient HVAC Tips for the Winter

Believe it or not, winter will be here before you know it. As the temperature falls, it's crucial to keep your heating system in top condition. Proper maintenance can help you stay warm this winter while saving you energy and money. Follow these tips to prepare your HVAC system for winter. 

Change Your Furnace Filter

A clean furnace filter boosts indoor air quality. It also helps your system run efficiently. Replacing a dirty filter reduces the strain on your system, so be sure to change it when it’s dirty, or at least every three months. 

Consider a Smart Thermostat

Installing a smart thermostat is a great choice for your home. Many smart thermostats can learn your habits. They adjust your home’s temperature based on when you sleep and when you're home. This saves you both energy and money. You can save even more money with Efficiency Smart’s $100 rebate on qualifying models.
