Here are the Tips to Maximize Your Energy Efficiency
Go For Routine Maintenance
HVACs, especially outdoor units, are exposed to various pollutants such as dirt, dust, debris, and allergens. The pollutant buildup on HVAC parts such as air filters, air ducts, air vents, condenser and evaporator coils require the HVAC to work harder and for longer periods of time, which in turn leads to higher energy consumption and reduced HVAC energy efficiency. To avoid this, you must schedule routine air conditioning and heating services in Spring Valley, Henderson, and nearby areas.
Consider Installing Cool Roofs
Did you know that your home’s roof tends to reach temperatures as high as 150°F during the peak summer months? And we all are aware what this means for our energy bills. Therefore, we suggest installing cool roofs that are manufactured using highly reflective paint, sheet coverings, or tiles and shingles and are designed to reflect sunlight and reduce the roof temperature by around 50°F. This, in turn, helps achieve a substantial reduction in energy bills.
Minimize Consumption During Peak Hours
Energy prices during the off-peak hours are less as compared to those during the peak hours. So, it makes sense to make the most of the off-peak hours. For instance, if you have to heat or cool your home, then you should turn on the HVAC during the off-peak hours and turn it off during the peak hours.
Make Sure Your Home is Properly Insulated
Besides buying an energy-efficient HVAC, you must also ensure proper air conditioning and heating installation. For instance, lack of insulation is one of the major reasons for high energy bills. And usually, lack of insulation due to improper installation occurs when people don’t hire a licensed air conditioning and heating service provider and instead go for an unlicensed and inexperienced contractor to save on the installation costs. Make sure you don’t make the same mistake.
If your energy bills are soaring through the roof, the above-mentioned tips will help you reduce your energy consumption. But if the issue persists, you must schedule an air conditioning and furnace repair in Spring Valley to have your HVAC inspected. To schedule an appointment, call us at 702-840-4986.
