Tips To Help Lower Heating and Cooling Bills and Special Pricing for Fall Preseason Furnace Tune-up Announced by R.S …

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 17, 2012

There are some things that happen once every four years and that's fine, but dont let heating and air conditioning maintenance be one of them. The top energy savings tip is to have heating and air systems serviced regularly. A regularly maintained HVAC system will consume less electricity and gas. If an HVAC system has not serviced by a licensed professional since the last presidential election, then now is the time to schedule one.

Homeowners and commercial property managers depend on reliable heating and air conditioning system for comfort at home and work. This valuable equipment must be serviced to prevent major break downs later on.

More Top Heating and Cooling Energy Saving Tips

1. Install a programmable thermostat for home heating. It can save lots of energy while youre sleeping or away from home and will re-warm your house shortly before you wake up or return home from work.

2. Set your homes thermostat at the coolest level you can without making your rooms uncomfortable. For most homes, the heating bill drops by about 2 percent for every 1 degree the thermostat is lowered.

3. Lower your homes thermostat at bedtime or while youre away during the day. Setting the thermostat to 58 degrees while youre asleep (you may need an extra blanket!) can cut your natural-gas bill by up to 7 percent.

4. Seal up leaky drafts around doors and windows with weather-stripping, caulking, and door sweeps. (And dont forget to keep the damper closed on a fireplace or wood-burning stove when its not in use.) Also seal up any leaks or gaps in furnace ducts that extend through unheated basements or crawl spaces.

5. Have your furnace inspected and tuned up every year (before the heating season starts), and clean or replace the air filters on your furnace every two months during the heating season. Your furnace will run more efficiently and use less energy.

6. Make sure you have adequate insulation in your homes attic and walls, and around heating ducts that pass through unheated spaces.
