Energy Saving Habits (HVAC Maintenance Works!)

November 7, 2022 | Blog

When the word “savings” comes to mind, you may initially think of finances. But did you know that saving energy can also save you money in the long run? Energy efficiency offers a variety of benefits, both for the planet and your Mississippi household!

Ball Heating and Air Conditioning strives to serve our Biloxi community. Energy-saving habits can enhance the reliability of your home systems while reducing the cost of your monthly utility bills! Our team of professionals has compiled a guide to maintaining an energy-efficient HVAC system and home.

Tips For An Energy-Efficient HVAC System

Your heating and cooling systems require a hefty amount of power to operate. However, there are a few things you can do to lower the energy usage in your home! You can easily conserve energy by:

Changing Your Air Filters

Air filters prevent indoor pollutants from entering your AC unit and circulating throughout your home. However, filters can become clogged with debris, causing your system to overwork itself. A few contaminants that can back up the filter are:

  • Dust
  • Pollen
  • Dander
  • Lint
  • Bacteria

Air filters don’t just keep you healthy— they keep your home systems running efficiently! If your units can’t operate up to par, they will use more energy to keep your home at your desired temperature. Professionals recommend you change your filter at least every 90 days.

Sealing Air Leaks

Air leaks can be present in your windows and doors, allowing air to escape outside. You can check for leaks by looking for cracks, holes and other damage around these entry points. If heat escapes outdoors, your system will continue to operate until your home has reached the desired temperature.

Investing In A Smart Thermostat

A smart thermostat will automatically enhance your unit’s efficiency. These Wi-Fi enabled devices are programmed to adjust the temperature in your home, all from the power of your phone!

Smart thermostats will adapt to your schedule and turn off your air conditioner when you’re out of the house. This process will conserve the energy used in your home, only operating when you need it most.

Checking Your Attic Insulation

If your attic doesn’t have adequate insulation, it can be a common source of heat loss. Since heat rises,
insulation preserves the warm air in your home. Air leaks in your insulation will cause your heater to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home. Not only is this an inefficient use of energy, but it will cause your utility bill to rise significantly.

Scheduling An Annual HVAC Tune-Ups

Your heating and cooling systems should receive annual maintenance every year. A professional technician can ensure they are operating at peak performance and not wasting energy. Regular tune-ups are crucial for the health of your HVAC system and your home!
