Almost half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. So it is important to make smart decisions about your home's heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. It can have a big effect on your utility bills, and your comfort. Tune up your HVAC equipment yearly
Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort. Learn more about E.F. Winslow's Preventative Maintenance Program Change your air filter regularly
Check your filter every month, especially during heavy use months (winter and summer). If the filter looks dirty after a month, change it. At a minimum, change the filter every 3 months. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you warm or cool - wasting energy. A clean filter will also prevent dust and dirt from building up in the system — leading to expensive maintenance and/or early system failure. Consider Replacing Your HVAC System
If your HVAC equipment is more than 10 years old or not keeping your house comfortable, you should have it inspected by one of E.F. Winslow's highly trained HVAC technicians. If it is not performing efficiently or needs upgrading, consider replacing it with a unit that has earned the ENERGY STAR.
