Money Saving Tips
At Confederate Heating & Air, LLC, we enjoy helping our clients as much as possible. Here are some tips that can save you money on your utility bills and heating and air conditioning equipment and services.
Money Saving Tips
- Set the thermostat at the highest comfortable setting in the summer and the lowest in the winter.
- Keep your air filter clean.
- Keep doors and windows closed.
- Keep vents and grilles unobstructed.
- Avoid excessive use of exhaust fans.
- Use the AUTO setting on your indoor fan. (This provides better humidity control in the summer.)
- Control direct sunlight.
- Keep the condenser coil clean.
- Insulate air ducts.
- Properly vent clothes dryers.
- Keep heat away from the thermostat.
Zoning Tips
Zoning can make your home more comfortable. Air conditioning is delivered exactly when and where it is needed with the use of zoning. Non-zoned systems cost much less than zoned systems to install, but over time, zoned systems are more cost effective. Zoned systems allow homeowners to heat and cool only the areas of their home that need to be heated or cooled. Homes with the following design features can benefit the most from a zoned system:
- Homes with Multiple Levels
- Houses with High Ceilings
- Rooms with Large Glass Windows
- Homes with Solariums, Porches, Atriums, or Other Large Open Areas
- Rooms with Concrete Floors or Exposed Floors
- Homes with Indoor Swimming Pools or Hot Tubs
