Your HVAC system plays a major role in keeping your home comfortable, but it could also be responsible for those unexpectedly high utility bills. At Precision Air, we want to help you avoid these common HVAC missteps that may be increasing your energy costs.
1. Neglecting Regular Maintenance
Skipping routine HVAC maintenance can lead to dirty filters, clogged coils, and reduced efficiency. This forces your system to work harder, driving up energy use and costs.
Solution: Schedule annual HVAC check-ups to keep your system running efficiently.
2. Ignoring Air Filter Changes
A dirty air filter restricts airflow, making your HVAC system work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. This increases energy consumption and can even shorten the lifespan of your system.
Solution: Change your air filter every 1-3 months to ensure proper airflow and efficiency.
3. Setting the Thermostat Too High or Low
Extreme temperature settings cause your HVAC system to run longer and consume more energy. Constantly adjusting the thermostat can also waste energy.
Solution: Use a programmable or smart thermostat to maintain a consistent, energy-efficient temperature.
4. Leaky Ductwork
Leaky ducts can cause up to 30% of the air to escape, making your HVAC system less efficient and increasing energy costs.
Solution: Have your ductwork inspected and sealed by a professional to prevent air loss.
5. Using an Outdated HVAC System
Older HVAC systems tend to be less energy-efficient, which can drive up your utility bills over time. If your system is more than 10-15 years old, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
Solution: Invest in an energy-efficient HVAC system to reduce long-term energy costs.
