Saving EnergyHeat & Cool EfficientlyAs much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. So making smart decisions about your home's heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills — and your comfort. Take these steps to increase the efficiency of your heating and cooling system. 1. Change your air filter regularly Check your filter every month, especially during heavy use months (winter and summer). If the filter looks dirty after a month, change it. At a minimum, change the filter every 3 months. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you warm or cool — wasting energy. A clean filter will also prevent dust and dirt from building up in the system — leading to expensive maintenance and/or early system failure. 2. Tune up your HVAC equipment yearlyJust as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort.Learn more:
3. Install a programmable thermostatA programmable thermostat is ideal for people who are away from home during set periods of time throughout the week. Through proper use of pre-programmed settings, a programmable thermostat can save you about $150 every year in energy costs.4. Seal your heating and cooling ductsDucts that move air to-and-from a forced air furnace, central air conditioner, or heat pump are often big energy wasters. Sealing and insulating ducts can improve the efficiency of your heating and cooling system by as much as 20 percent — and sometimes much more.DANCO Provides Duct Cleaning & More... Our Focus is first on sealing ducts that run through the attic, crawlspace, unheated basement, or garage. We use duct sealant (mastic) or metal-backed (foil) tape to seal the seams and connections of ducts. After sealing the ducts in those spaces, we wrap the ducts in insulation to keep them from getting hot in the summer or cold in the winter. Next, we seal ducts that you can access in the heated or cooled part of the house. Contact Us for more information & pricing.
