Hi there!
LIf you want to make your older HVAC system more energy-efficient without replacing it, there are some easy things you can do. Start by making sure it’s getting regular maintenance, like cleaning the coils and changing the air filters—this helps it run better. Installing a programmable thermostat can also save energy by adjusting the temperature when you're not home. Sealing any leaky ducts and adding insulation to your house, especially in the attic, helps keep the air inside, so your system doesn’t have to work as hard. You can also seal up gaps around windows and doors to prevent drafts. Using ceiling fans to move air around can make your home feel cooler or warmer without having to crank up the thermostat. Even small things, like closing blinds to block the sun in the summer or opening them to let the sun warm your home in the winter, can help. These tips will help your HVAC run more efficiently and save you some money on energy bills!
