• Changing the furnace filter every other month is a good energy saving tip.

• Keep furniture and drapes away from the HVAC air supply and return air ducts to increase the energy efficiency of your system.

• Be sure the air conditioner is fully charged with freon so it operates efficiently.

• When buying an air conditioner, don't over-size it. Select the proper size and choose an energy-efficient model.

• An easy energy saving tip is to install your air conditioner in a shady spot. It will work more efficiently.

• Allow plenty of room for air flow around the air conditioner for it to operate most efficiently.

• Bleed air from hot water radiators a couple of times each season to make them work more efficiently.

• During the winter, remove window air conditioners and seal the windows with caulk and weather stripping.
