When it comes to the heating system in your home, there tends to be a lot of focus on your boiler and furnace.

However, cleaning your air ducts can often be an overlooked yet very important step in air conditioning effectiveness.

Saving money and energy on your unoccupied home while you’re gone on summer vacation can alleviate some vacation expenses that add up quickly. Use these energy saving tips from your local Frisco TX air conditioning service experts.

Unplug electronic appliances that do not need to be on. Small amounts of electricity called phantom loads will be used while you are not using the appliances. Turn off all lights except for maybe a lamp or two to make it look like someone is home at night.

Double check your doors and windows are closed tight before you leave for vacation. Letting outside air in, even the smallest amount for a prolonged time can make the AC unit work more than it needs.

Pull curtains and shades on east and west windows in your home to help keep heat out. The morning and afternoon sun can add unnecessary heat to your home and cause your air conditioner to turn on when you may not want it to.

Program your thermostat to hold at a higher temperature than when you occupy your home. Do not turn off your ac unit altogether because you want minimal airflow. Set it at something that will turn on for a while at least once a day.

The most effective way to save money and energy while on vacation is to turn your water heater thermostat down to the lowest setting. Energy efficient water heater choices like this can help reduce wasted money and energy.

The professionals at Southern Comfort Mechanical AC & Heating, your Frisco air conditioning company, are here to help you with all your energy saving needs. Give us a call or contact us online to schedule an air conditioning inspection today.

PlanetGreen.com is one of the best sources nationally pertaining to energy conservation and sustainable living. The website recently launched 10 top home heating tips as the country continues its battle with Old Man Winter.

Among the tips, proper insulation and ventilation proved to be a major topic of discussion. As the temperature drops, it’s more and more important to have good insulation. PlanetGreen.com speaks of draftpooling, which focuses on sealing the leaks around your windows and doors to keep the cool draft outdoors. Insulation strips, door sweeps and silicone caulk tubes should help in keeping the cold weather out and the heat in.

With draftpooling come proper ventilation techniques. The last thing you want is a comfortable facility that lacks good ventilation. Condensation can grow in places like this, which can cause mold and mildew. That can lead to health issues in extreme situations. PlanetGreen.com suggests cross-ventilation (opening a window or two for several minutes in a day) to combat homes that aren’t as ventilated.

In “going green” with fighting the winter, it is suggested to purchase radiant barriers. These energy-efficient items can cut heat loss significantly while keeping you warm. Also suggested are exterior storm windows, which can increase the temperature of an inside window by as much as 30 degrees.

However you decide to battle the cold with environmentally sound tactics, let our Lewisville TX heating experts answer your questions and assist you with winterizing your home. Call our Lewisville HVAC company today, or contact us online.

As the temperatures resemble winter with each day passing, keeping warm in your home becomes more and more of a priority. Our Lewisville heating experts suggest purchasing a quality heat pump to keep your household comfortable throughout the remaining winter days.

A heat pump, per dictionary definition, is a device that can warm or cool a residential or commercial property by “transferring heat from a relatively low-temperature reservoir to one at a higher temperature.” During the winter season, a heat pump will extract warm air from outside and move it into the home or office, creating a . Some say heat pumps simply are air systems with transposing capabilities.

Heat pumps are recommended because they provide an economical, energy-efficient alternative to property owners who want a relaxed home or office environment. Combining the use of a heat pump with proper air duct insulation will assist in keeping the heating and cooling bills to a minimum.

There are plenty of heat pumps to choose, but our Lewisville heating company suggests that you choose one that has an energy efficiency guarantee. Our expert Lewisville heating and cooling technicians specialize in all HVAC services, including heat pump installation and maintenance. Feel free to call us today, or contact us online for more details.
