1. Install a programmable thermostat to manage Orange County Heating & Cooling needs.
Home owners can save around $180 dollars a year by properly programming your thermostat. It can be even more simple by installing a new WIFI T-stat that you can manage your heating and air from the touch of your computer or phone. This is a great benefit when your out on vacation or if your elderly parents have trouble programing the thermostat.
2. Keep your filters clean!
Also clean and check your filters at least once every other month. A dirty filter can increase your energy cost and damage your equipment.
3. Get annual furnace tune-ups & get them early.
I can not stress this enough how important a heating tune-up is. Not only will it save you money on your energy costs but it is also to make sure your furnace is safe to operate. Carbon monoxide is a very dangerous gas and if your heater is not venting properly you could be exposing your family to the deadly gas. Also make sure to get your tune-up early, every single year people wait until the first cold spell and we are bombarded with calls and we may not be able to get to you that day. Make sure before the cold hits you give us a call so when you do turn that heater on it will work and work safely.
4. Invest in energy efficient equipment.
Heating and air systems that have the energy star label on them meet the federal standards for energy efficiency. You can save up to 50% on your heating and cooling energy costs and even over time your system will eventually pay for it self with the savings you will get.
5. Weather-strip and caulk your door's & windows.
No need to explain this one just got to do what it says.
6. Make sure you have the right insulation for your home.
You can lose up to 40% of your home's heat loss just because you don't have the right insulation or if you attic is not insulated enough. Call a professional that can look at what you have and make the proper recommendations.
