Fall Into Energy Savings This Season | Teems Electric

It’s the most wonderful time of the year to start working on ways to save money on energy.

Our team at Teems Electric wants to offer you tips on how you can make your home and/or office more energy-efficient. That energy efficiency will pay off when it comes to heating your space this winter!

Let’s take a look at the various ways you can start lowering your energy bill each month, especially as the temperatures begin to drop:

When Was Your Last Maintenance Check?

Just like you take your car in for a maintenance check every so often, you should do the same for your HVAC unit.

Having an HVAC specialist regularly examine your unit can help you spot any potential problems before they become serious, reducing your costs in the long run.

When Was the Last Time You Changed Your Air Filters?

Are you regularly changing your home’s air filters? You’ll want to look at the filter packaging to determine how frequently they should be changed out. If you have pets or deal with allergies, you may need to change them out even more often than recommended.

When you change the air filters on a regular basis, you are allowing the air or heat to flow through your home effectively and efficiently. Therefore, your HVAC unit is not having to work too hard and, as a result, your energy bills are not on the rise.

How Energy-Efficient Are Your Appliances?

Believe it or not, the appliances in your home (especially in your kitchen) can be considered energy vampires with how much energy they use, pretty much around-the-clock.

Fortunately, many companies are working hard to create appliances that are as energy-efficient as possible.

Therefore, if you have an appliance that is more than a few years old, it might be best to consider replacing your old appliance for a new one that is more energy-efficient.
