Energy Saving Tips

Heating

1. Arrange an annual inspection of your furnace to keep it operating at peak performance and saving money.
2. Check heating ducts for air leaks and insulate those in unheated areas.
3. Check that supply and return vents are open.
4. Clean or replace furnace air filters regularly.
5. Set thermostat at a lower temperature when nobody is home.
6. Consider installing programmable thermostats.
7. Install ceiling fans to force warm air down. This allows you to lower your thermostat setting.
8. Replace furnace and water heater with a high efficiency models.

Air Conditioning

1. Make sure your air flow return-air or air supply-air grill is not obstructed by furniture, boxes, etc.
2. Has your system been serviced recently? Just a .001 of an inch of dirt or film on an evaporator coil can reduce its efficiency by 5%.
3. Over half of all air conditioning and heat pump compressor failures could have been avoided if the system was routinely maintained.
4. If your system still does not operate or you are experiencing other problems, follow these steps.
5. Check that your room thermostat temperature selector is set below the house temperature as indicated on the thermostat, and the system switch is in the "COOL" position. Warning! Do not turn the thermostat on, off, and back on without allowing a few minutes to pass to avoid short cycling the compressor.

• Check the blower access panel. It must be firmly in place for the unit to operate.
• Is the furnace power supply "ON"? The furnace provides control voltage to the thermostat and other cooling components.
• Is the outdoor unit power supply switched "ON"?
• Check the circuit breaker panel for a tripped breaker.
