But what you really have to do is turn on a fan! A little bit of moving air can go a pretty long way for your comfort

There are many different ways you can save money on your home’s Heating and cooling bills throughout the year. In this article, we will only discuss a few practical tips to keep your energy bills down. The first one, and the most obvious tip, for keeping your costs down is keeping your doors and windows sealed up tight. I know that this sounds very simple, but lots of people will actually run their cooling systems all day but at the same time they will have only their screen door closed! That’s so they can enjoy the sounds of nature. And while many people prefer to leave their doors open to nature, if you are trying to keep your air conditioning costs down, then keeping your doors and windows closed is imperative. The next tip is about your thermostat unit… You have to make sure your thermostat is placed on the right wall in your house. You have to keep the thermostat away from windows and doors. The heat or the cold air coming from them will always cause your cooling system or your gas furnace to kick on more than it needs to. Thermostat placement is not really something that people think about. But it’s really a big deal when your energy bill comes in the mail! And then one final tip for your Heating, Ventilation, and A/C costs is to just use a fan. Sometimes, you might even feel too hot and you might be tempted to turn up the cooling system more. But what you really have to do is turn on a fan! A little bit of moving air can go a pretty long way for your comfort. And while all these tips are simple and clear, you will be surprised at how effective they can be. This year, keep your heating and cooling costs at an all time low.
