Upgrade to a Programmable Thermostat

Set your HVAC system to automatically adjust temperatures during sleeping or away hours. Smart thermostats can save up to 10–15% on heating and cooling costs.

Seal Leaks and Insulate

Prevent energy loss by sealing air leaks around windows, doors, and ductwork. Proper insulation keeps your space warmer in winter and cooler in summer with less energy use.

Use Energy-Efficient HVAC Equipment

If your HVAC system is over 10 years old, upgrading to a high-efficiency model (with ENERGY STAR® certification) can significantly reduce your energy consumption.

Maintain Your HVAC System

Regular tune-ups and filter changes ensure your system operates efficiently and doesn’t waste energy. A dirty or neglected system works harder—and costs more.

Adjust the Thermostat

Lower your thermostat by just 1–2 degrees in winter or raise it slightly in summer to see noticeable savings without sacrificing comfort.

Utilize Natural Ventilation

Open windows during cool mornings or evenings to reduce the need for air conditioning. Use ceiling fans to improve airflow and comfort.

Optimize Your Lighting

Switch to LED bulbs and turn off lights when not in use. Lighting accounts for a significant portion of energy use in most homes and offices.

Close Curtains and Blinds

Block direct sunlight during hot months to keep indoor spaces cooler. In winter, open curtains during the day to take advantage of natural warmth.
