Did you know as much as half of the energy used in your home goes towards heating and cooling? You can take these steps to help reduce your energy bill all year long:

1. Lock your windows.
The window lock presses the weather stripping tightly together to give you a better seal and keep conditioned air inside your home.

2. Shut your garage door. 
Your garage provides a buffer between your house and the outdoors. With the door closed, it will stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, avoiding adding any additional stress on your heating and cooling system.

3. Draperies and shades can cut your costs. 
During the winter, open the draperies on your south-facing windows during the day and close them at night. This allows the warming sunlight to enter your home during the day and keeps the cold night air out.  In summer close them in the daytime and open them at night for the opposite effect.

4. Close doors quickly. 
The longer a door is open, the more unconditioned air it allows into the house, requiring your heating and cooling system to work harder to maintain a consistent temperature.

5. Rearrange your furniture.
Make sure that your furniture is not blocking airflow from registers or the return air grille. You can optimize the heating and cooling power of your system by allowing the air to flow freely through your house.

6. Get a seasonal system check-up. 
Have a qualified heating and cooling contractor from All Weather Heating and Cooling, LLC perform a full system check-up. Preventative maintenance on your home heating and cooling system is one of the best ways to save money on your energy bill.

Replacing your home heating and cooling system is a significant investment. Let All Weather Heating and Cooling, LLC help you determine the right time to replace it. Your new system should fit both your needs and budget.

Why should you consider replacing your heating or cooling unit? 

Your current system is getting old. If your air conditioner or heat pump is more than 10 years old or your furnace is more than 15 years old, those units are reaching the end of their life cycle. The time to consider purchasing a replacement is just around the corner.

Repairs are becoming frequent or costly. When your system requires regular repairs or requires a major repair approaching 50% or more of the cost of a replacement, your money would be better spent replacing the unit altogether.

Your energy bills are going up.  Increasing energy bills indicate that your system is not functioning properly and may be reaching the end of its life cycle. A full system inspection can diagnose the problem and help you determine if your system needs to be replaced.

Your humidity levels are out of balance. Exceptionally dry air in the winter or overly humid air in the summer indicates failing or inadequate equipment or leaky ductwork.

Your air quality is becoming poor. Increasing dust or air quality issues indicate leaky ductwork or failing equipment.

Your air conditioner uses R-22. If your air conditioner utilizes the refrigerant R-22 and has developed a leak, your best option is likely to replace it. R-22 is being phased out due to federal regulations. Consequently, its prices are soaring as it becomes more and more scarce. Consider replacing it with a unit that runs on the more environmentally sound refrigerant R-410A.

Your warranty has expired. Once your warranty has expired, you will be 100% on the hook for any and all necessary repairs. At this point, replacement might be a better option than completing significant repairs.

What are the benefits of a new system? 

Save money on your energy bill. A new unit will be significantly more efficient, providing significant savings on your energy bill.

Feel more comfortable in your home. A new system will deliver more consistent temperatures and improved air quality throughout your home.

Experience peace and quiet. Newer heating and cooling systems operate much quieter than older ones. Quiet operation ensures home comfort is felt, not heard.

The cool air flowing through your home during the hot summer months is probably not something you spend much time thinking about. The components of your home cooling system are usually housed out of sight in the basement, a closet, on rooftops or in mechanical rooms, making them easy to ignore until something goes wrong. As the cooling season unfolds, All Weather Heating and Cooling, LLC reminds you to remember your home cooling system and do what you can to keep it in peak working condition:

Check the batteries in your thermostat. Believe it or not, the most common reason cool air is not blowing out of the vents is because the fan is on, but the thermostat has lost power so it can’t tell the air conditioner to turn on. Yes, that is correct - check the batteries!

Change or clean your air filters. If you use disposable air filters, change them once a month. If you use electrostatic filters or an electronic air cleaner, follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.

Look at your landscaping. Properly placed plants can save you money. Plant trees and shrubs so that they shade your air conditioner unit but do not block its airflow. This will help the unit run more efficiently. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, an air conditioner uses about 10% less electricity when working in the shade.

Clean up the area around your outdoor unit. Clear away anything that could block airflow, such as weeds, plants leaves, trash or other debris.

Clean everything indoors, too. Clear dust and dirt away from registers and vacuum return air grilles. A clean system works better, lasts longer and uses less electricity. Reduced airflow wears your home cooling system out.

Schedule a check-up. Regular preventative maintenance is the best way to ensure trouble-free operation and peak performance all summer long. A professional check-up from All Weather Heating and Cooling, LLC will address routine maintenance tasks you should not attempt yourself, such as checking refrigerant levels, checking and cleaning internal system components, measuring airflow, checking electrical connections and more.

A well-maintained home cooling system will operate more efficiently, consume less energy and last longer. Call All Weather Heating and Cooling, LLC at (706) 830-1818 to schedule a check-up.
