Harry Hurley Shares 5 Ways to Make Your Home More Energy Efficient

Taking care of your home's performance is so unbelievably important. Not only does your electricity bill rely on the performance of your home, but also your personal health and comfort.

With the help of my friends from Ambient Comfort, we've put together a handy little guide that will help boost the performance of your home and make it a super energy-saver! Read on to learn more:

1. Invest in a smart thermostat

A Wi-Fi smart thermostat does most of the work of keeping your home comfortable. It'll find the best ways to reduce your bills because it learns from the ways you like to heat and cool your house.

2. Regular HVAC maintenance

Nothing does more to improve your heating and cooling system performance than to have a technician inspect it annually. Your AC needs its check-up in the spring and the heather in the fall before the season temperatures begin.

3. Fix leaking air ducts

You may not realize that the ductwork in your house has air leaks and this means money and energy going to waste. Ambient Comfort can test the ducts and find where the ventilation system needs to be sealed.

4. Replace your air filter

Ambient Comfort recommends you replace your air filter every 1-3 months. This reduces dust and debris in your home. Also, be sure to pay attention to the MERV rating—the higher the rating, the more efficiently the filter strains out dust and dirt.

5. Add ductless heating and cooling

A ductless HVAC system gives you heating and cooling without the energy loss and space-consuming ducts. This might be the addition you need to turn your home performance around.

I trust the experts at Ambient Comfort to get the job done properly and I hope you will too when you give them a call today at (856)-213-6586 and begin the process of making your home more energy efficient!
