Living in a comfortable home can cost less if you take the right steps to address what keeps cool or hot air in your home. You can start to take these steps to work toward lower utility bills now.

Replace filters regularly. Your blower motor will work less if there are less obstructions throughout the inlet and outlet paths.

Tune up your system yearly. There are several resources on what you should be looking for when visually inspecting your components. It is a great idea to learn how the system works to properly identify issues early. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, scheduling a visit is a great option.

Installing a smart thermostat. Most house members have access to a mobile phone. You can now control your system from any where. Setting shut downs and start ups automatically can save you utility costs during the winter and summer seasons.

Seal your air ventilation ducts. Over the years, technology changes. New sealants are introduced and now do a better job. Checking around the registers and resealing them will help with holding more air in.

Adding insulation to the duct system is one of the most sure ways to add instant improvement. See the energy star fact sheet for more information.
