How To Make Your Home More Efficient
Four easy things you can do to improve your home’s safety and efficiency.
You want to protect and maintain your house to keep it running safely and efficiently. Here are four quick tips to help you do that:
1. Change your air filter. Not only is a dirty filter unhealthy, but it also creates stress on your system and can reduce its life. Ensure that you’re changing your filter every two to three months.
2. Sit in your attic. We recently had a lot of rain, and people were surprised by roof leaks. Sit in your attic with a good flashlight and look and listen to see if you have any leaks.
3. Tune up your HVAC. HVAC companies are always running specials to get your units tuned up. Be wary of being upsold a laundry list of additional unnecessary repairs. Try to get a second opinion.
4. Check out the crawlspace. If you have a crawlspace, get in there and make sure all your ducts are connected and have no leaks. Also, look out for rodent activity.
These tips should help your home stay in ship shape. If you have any questions, reach out to us by phone or email. We look forward to hearing from you.
