Spring into an Energy Efficient Home
In spring, while you wear short sleeves in the daytime, and throw on a sweater or light jacket in the evenings, your home comfort systems are dealing with the changing temperatures, too!
As you begin to balance your home’s heating and cooling this spring, Haab Energy is here to share our top five tried-and-true efficiency tips that prevent your equipment from utilizing excessive energy, all while helping you earn more savings.
- Open Windows in the Evenings
As temperatures drop in the evening and into the night this spring, open a few windows throughout your home to let some of that cool, fresh air in! In doing so, you can lower the temperature inside your home caused by daytime heat, without the use of any energy! - Seal Drafts in Your Home
Check around door and window frames throughout your home for potential drafts that could cause your heating or cooling system to work harder than necessary. Weather stripping or caulking can often do the trick! - Close Blinds & Curtains During the Day
Just as it’s a good idea to open windows during the evening to take advantage of the cool outside air, keeping your curtains and blinds shut during the day goes a long way in keeping some of the sun’s heat out. - Clean Your Air Filter
As you begin using your cooling system for the first time this year, add checking its filter to your spring-cleaning list! A dirty filter not only reduces the air quality inside your home, but it also causes your cooling system to consume more energy. - Invest in a Programmable Thermostat
Finally, a programmable thermostat is a surefire way to maintain the temperature of your home this spring without excessive energy consumption. Take a look at Haab Energy’s Air Conditioning Installation & Upgrades to explore the many energy-saving benefits of a programmable thermostat!
