Energy Saving Tips
Refresh Your Air Filter
When it comes to improving the energy efficiency of your heating and cooling system, replacing a dirty air filter is probably the simplest, most inexpensive and most often overlooked maintenance job there is.
Air filters don't just keep the air fresh. They save you money on your energy purchases by making it easier for the system to work and improving the system's performance. Clean filters also prolong the useful life of your heating and cooling equipment by keeping dirt and dust off diffusers and coils and out of fans and motors.
Most air filters are disposable, although an electrostatic filter can be cleaned with water. Either way, air filters should be replaced or cleaned once a month. If you have a difficult time keeping up with the monthly routine, get in the habit of checking your air filter each month.
