As a business owner, you want to streamline your overhead costs as much as possible. Monitoring your business’s energy consumption is one of the simplest ways to keep your costs low and reduce your monthly overhead, but finding ways to boost your company’s energy efficiency can seem daunting. At AA Electric, Ltd. in Honolulu, HI, their industrial electricians can help you keep your business running optimally. Their team has compiled a few tips to help you transform your business into an energy-efficient enterprise.

3 Tips to Boost Your Business’s Energy Efficiency

1. Circulate the Air

Running your air conditioner is one of the easiest ways to increase your business’s energy consumption. Rather than lowering the thermostat, encourage your employees to use standing fans or ceiling fans to circulate the air around your building. Moving air often feels cooler and can help you keep your thermostat set a few degrees higher during the warmer months. Over time, you’ll use less electricity and even save on your cooling costs.

2. Turn the Lights Off

Rather than leaving every light on in your office when you close for the day, turn the fixtures off. If you must leave the lights on, consider switching to energy-saving LED bulbs to reduce the amount of electricity each fixture uses. If you need help finding the right bulbs for your business, your local industrial electricians will be able to help find the right fit for your business.

3. Clean Your HVAC Filters

Your HVAC system filters air through disposable filters, keeping debris and dirt from entering your office. Once these filters get clogged, your HVAC has to work harder to keep your office at the ideal temperature, using more energy, more frequently. Check the filters every couple of months and change them as soon as they get dirty.
