In Winter…
9.Reverse your ceiling fan’s direction to run clockwise and at low speed so that the room air is being pulled up, and warm air is distributed from the ceiling down into the room.
10.Keep your thermostat settings at around 68-70 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and between 65 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit at night to save on heating costs.
11.Remember to reduce the temperature setting on your thermostat whenever you leave the house.
In Summer…
12.Turn your ceiling fan’s blades so that it runs in counter-clockwise direction. This will direct the air downward into the room and create a cooling wind chill effect.
13.Try to keep the difference between the temperature of your thermostat setting and outside temperatures to a minimum. The bigger the difference, the more energy you will lose.
14.Increase temperature settings on your thermostat when you leave the house – there is no need to keep cooling excessively when no one is home.
15.Consider turning your AC off entirely every time you leave your house or apartment, especially when you are traveling for business or leisure.
16.Cleaning your air conditioner and heater’s air filters at least once a month.
17.Check if any ducts to your heating or cooling equipment are leaking and fix them to increase efficiency levels.
18.To keep your central air conditioner unit working efficiently, clean the outside compressor on a regular basis.
19.Keep plants at least one foot away from an outdoor AC unit to provide sufficient airflow.
20.Plan to have your entire heating system inspected by a professional on a regular basis, especially if it’s natural gas.
21.Invest into an energy-efficient heat pump to save on heating costs.
22.Electric baseboard heating can be very effective. To keep it that way, you should leave a clearance of at least three inches under the heating unit and avoid placing furniture or draperies too close to it.
23.While portable heaters are very convenient, they also waste a lot of energy. Limit your use of the same and opt for the regular heaters instead.
