Not only does your home’s energy efficiency give you a clue about how efficiently your heating and cooling system is working, but it gives you a way to save more money. Making your home more energy efficient doesn’t have to be a giant, high-priced project. There are multiple simple ways to do it: replacing your furnace filters when needed, using a programmable thermostat and keeping lights and electronics off when they’re not in use.

The efficiency of your HVAC system can make all the difference when it comes to saving money on energy. The more severe winter and summer months in Williamsport mean your HVAC system will be working overtime, so now is the time to ensure it’s operating efficiently. Your wallet will thank you.

If your air filters are dirty, it’s harder for air to pass through them. This makes your heating and cooling system work harder than it needs to, and you lose energy efficiency. Not only that, but this additional work can cause unnecessary wear and tear on your system that could result in your replacing it sooner than you’d have to. Plus, clean filters give you more comfortable, clean air in your home.

When you’re thinking about the energy efficiency of your heating and cooling system, you need to take into account its age. In general, newer systems are significantly more efficient. Be sure to take that in consideration when you find it’s time to make repairs to an older system. The normal lifespan of an HVAC system is 12 to 15 years. So, if your system is nearing that time, weigh the cost of repair with the cost of a new system, factoring in possible energy rebates and the cost savings you’ll see on your monthly bills.

Here are even more steps to make your home more energy efficient:

  • Make sure your home is insulated adequately.
  • Be on the lookout for air leaks around your doors and windows and seal them and/or add weatherstripping.
  • Keep your kitchen and laundry appliances clean, especially where they have ventilation.
