As long as the temperature outside is fairly moderate, homeowners aren’t worrying about their HVAC system’s efficiency. The weather is warming fast, though, and you’ll soon have to run your air conditioner 24 hours a day to stay cool. Once that happens, keep the following HVAC contractor-approved tips in mind to save energy and money.

3 Energy-Saving Tips for Your HVAC System

1. Change the Air Filters Regularly 

Changing the air filters every 30 to 90 days is perhaps the single easiest way to keep your HVAC system running smoothly. As filters become clogged with dirt, dust, and debris, the system has to work increasingly harder to intake enough air to cool the house. Whether you should change your filters every one, two, or three months will depend on the equipment in question, as well as your health, lifestyle, and household occupants and pets. 

2. Set a Reasonable Temperature

Instead of turning the AC all the way down to 69 or 70, why not keep it at 74 or 75? Throughout the summer, this will reduce your total energy consumption considerably—while still staying relatively cool. 

3. Arrange for Biannual Maintenance 

It’s wise to stay on top of a biannual maintenance schedule. Having an HVAC contractor come out twice a year—before you turn on the heat and then again before you turn on the air conditioning—will allow you to identify and repair any minor issues that might otherwise force the system to work harder than it has to over the following season.
