Summer in Shenandoah brings long, hot days and higher energy costs. Your HVAC system works harder than ever to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, which can lead to rising utility bills. Fortunately, small adjustments and proactive maintenance can make a big difference in energy savings.
At Aire Serv of Shenandoah, we provide practical advice and professional services to help homeowners stay comfortable while reducing energy costs. Here’s how to get the most out of your HVAC system this summer.
Schedule a Summer Tune-Up
Routine maintenance ensures your HVAC system operates efficiently. A professional inspection includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring proper airflow. Systems that are well-maintained use less energy and run more reliably during peak summer heat.
Replace or Clean Air Filters Regularly
Clogged filters restrict airflow, forcing your system to work harder and use more energy. Check and replace filters every 30–60 days during high-use months. Clean filters also improve indoor air quality, helping your family breathe easier.
Use a Programmable or Smart Thermostat
Smart thermostats allow you to schedule temperature adjustments based on your daily routine. Raising the temperature slightly while you’re away and lowering it before you return keeps your home comfortable while saving energy.
Seal Leaks and Improve Insulation
Air leaks around windows, doors, or ducts cause your system to work harder to maintain set temperatures. Sealing leaks and adding insulation keeps cool air inside and reduces energy waste, lowering utility bills.
Maximize Airflow with Fans
Ceiling and portable fans can help circulate cool air more efficiently. Fans reduce the need for lower thermostat settings, easing the load on your HVAC system and saving energy.
Limit Heat Gain Inside Your Home
Close blinds or curtains during the hottest part of the day, and avoid using heat-generating appliances like ovens or dryers during peak temperatures. Minimizing indoor heat sources helps your system maintain comfort without extra energy use.
