High electricity bills are a common concern for homeowners and businesses. The good news is that proper HVAC system operation can significantly reduce energy consumption and lower monthly utility costs.
At Cooling & Heating Repair, we help customers maximize comfort while minimizing energy expenses.
1. Schedule Regular HVAC Maintenance
A poorly maintained HVAC system works harder and consumes more electricity. Dust buildup, worn components, and incorrect airflow all reduce efficiency.
Benefits of regular HVAC maintenance:
- Up to 15–25% lower energy consumption
- Improved system performance
- Longer equipment lifespan
👉 Professional HVAC maintenance should be done twice a year — before summer and winter.
2. Replace Air Filters on Time
Dirty air filters restrict airflow, forcing your HVAC system to use more power to maintain the desired temperature.
Best practice:
- Replace filters every 1–3 months
- Change them more frequently if you have pets or allergies
This simple step alone can noticeably reduce electricity bills.
3. Use the Right Thermostat Settings
Every degree matters when it comes to energy efficiency.
Recommended thermostat settings:
- Summer: 75–78°F
- Winter: 68–72°F
Installing a programmable or smart thermostat can cut HVAC energy usage by 10–15% by automatically adjusting temperatures when you’re away.
4. Keep Vents and Registers Open
Closing air vents may seem like a way to save energy, but it actually causes:
- Poor airflow balance
- Increased system pressure
- Higher electricity usage
Your HVAC system is designed to operate with unrestricted airflow throughout the home.
5. Seal and Inspect Air Ducts
Leaky ductwork can waste up to 30% of heated or cooled air, leading to higher energy bills.
Professional duct inspection and sealing from Cooling & Heating Repair ensures:
- Better airflow efficiency
- Lower electricity consumption
- Improved indoor comfort
6. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient HVAC Equipment
Older HVAC systems consume significantly more electricity.
Look for high-efficiency ratings:
- SEER for air conditioning systems
- AFUE for heating systems
Higher ratings mean lower operating costs and improved performance.
7. Address HVAC Issues Early
Unusual noises, frequent cycling, or uneven temperatures are signs your system is wasting energy.
Early professional repairs help:
- Prevent expensive breakdowns
- Maintain peak efficiency
- Reduce monthly electricity bills
