September in West Chester signals more than cooler weather—it’s back-to-school season. With kids returning to classrooms and families adjusting schedules, your home’s energy use can fluctuate. Your HVAC system plays a key role in maintaining comfort while controlling energy costs during this busy month.
At Aire Serv of West Chester, we help homeowners take advantage of back-to-school routines to maximize efficiency and reduce bills.
1. Adjust Your Thermostat for Changing Schedules
With kids spending more time out of the house, your heating and cooling needs change.
Tip: Set your thermostat to save energy during the day and adjust automatically for mornings and evenings. Programmable or smart thermostats make this easy.
2. Keep Air Filters Clean
Dirty filters reduce airflow and efficiency, forcing your system to work harder and increasing energy costs.
Tip: Replace filters every 30–60 days, especially during seasonal transitions.
3. Optimize Airflow in Frequently Used Rooms
Rooms that are empty for parts of the day can still get conditioned unnecessarily if vents are blocked or ducts are unbalanced.
Tip: Ensure vents are clear, and consider professional duct balancing to distribute air efficiently.
4. Schedule Fall HVAC Maintenance
A quick September tune-up ensures your system is operating at peak efficiency before cooler temperatures arrive.
Benefit: Prevent breakdowns, improve comfort, and reduce energy waste.
Extra Energy-Saving Tips
- Use ceiling fans to circulate air efficiently.
- Close blinds or curtains during peak sun hours to reduce heat gain.
- Limit use of heat-generating appliances during the hottest part of the day.
- Seal drafty windows and doors to maintain consistent indoor temperatures.
