1. Change Your Filters Regularly

Clogged filters make your system work harder (and cost you more). Swap them out every 1–3 months, especially during heavy heating or cooling seasons.

2. Seal Up Leaks

Air leaking out of ducts, windows, and doors means you’re paying to heat or cool the outdoors. Sealing ductwork and adding weatherstripping can make a big difference.

3. Use a Programmable or Smart Thermostat

Set it and forget it — a smart thermostat adjusts automatically when you’re asleep or away, so you’re not wasting energy heating or cooling an empty house.

4. Schedule Regular Maintenance

A yearly tune-up keeps your system running at peak efficiency and catches small problems before they become expensive repairs.

5. Don’t Forget Ceiling Fans

Fans help circulate air so you can set the thermostat a few degrees higher in summer (or lower in winter) without sacrificing comfort.

Lower energy bills aren’t just good for your wallet — they’re good for the planet too. A few simple habits can add up to a more efficient home all year long.
