Home » How to Make Your Home More Energy Efficient: 5 Simple Upgrades to Save Energy and Money

To make your home more energy efficient, start by replacing dirty air filters, such as with the Allergen Shield Plus filters, to improve airflow and reduce energy usage. Clean your central air condensing unit coils using coil-cleaning spray to remove debris. Install a programmable thermostat to adjust your home’s temperature efficiently. Also, remove lint buildup in dryer vents with a dryer vent cleaning brush to ensure proper airflow and prevent energy waste. Lastly, pay attention to any performance changes in appliances and equipment, and promptly troubleshoot and repair issues by utilizing available repair help resources.

1. Replace the air filter in your furnace or air handler.

Dirty air filers restrict air flow, causing heating and cooling equipment to use more energy to get their jobs done.

Our exclusive Allergen Shield Plus air filters trap more impurities than most standard filters.

4. Remove lint buildup in dryer venting.

Lint buildup in dryer venting restricts air flow, causes the dryer to work longer to complete a cycle and creates high risk of a fire. Use a long dryer vent cleaning brush to remove lint from the inside of the dryer to the outside.

5. Pay attention to changes in appliance and equipment performance and complete repairs right away.

Appliances, outdoor power equipment and heating and cooling equipment often show warning signs of problems long before break downs. Troubleshoot and complete repairs to save energy and prevent costlier problems.
