If you are like most people there are several reasons to have a more efficient life. One is that you want to make sure you fit all you need to do into a day. You want to make sure the way your business is being ran is efficient as well. Another area of life you want to worry about the efficiency of is the appliances in your home. One of the appliances that happens to use a large amount of energy is the water heater as well as the HVAC system. The HVAC system is the top of the list and no matter if you are using electricity to run your cooling and air conditioning system or gas to heat the house; you are using energy. You want to make sure that you are running it efficiently and this is to lessen your impact on the environment. The other reason to be concerned about the efficiency is to decrease the cost of cooling and heating your home. There are things that you can do to make sure that your HVAC system is efficient. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning lists ways you can be more efficient with your HVAC system.

Air Duct Cleaning & Changing Filters

One of the most damaging things that will take down the efficiency of your HVAC unit is the dust and dirt. The amount of dust and dirt that is found in a standard home can be overwhelming. There is a constant flow of dirt and dust that can come in on your family, pets, windows, doors and more. One of the things that you will notice is that a chore that needs to be done all the time is dusting your home. The reason is that after a week the layer of dust will have settled back in. The problem is that the dust can be blocking the passage of the air that is needed. The air needs to have a clear path to flow and the dust and dirt can prevent that. You want to make sure that your ducts are clean and clear and your filters are changed out on a regular basis. This will help to allow the air to flow without any restrictions. In turn the efficiency of the unit will increase.

Shield Outside Air Conditioner Condenser from Direct Sunlight

One of the issues that you might come across is that your HVAC unit is being exposed to a lot of sunlight. The problem is that more sun that is warming up the unit can cause it to overheat. The overheating will make the unit less efficient. The best thing you can do is to keep the sunlight off your outside unit. You can plant a tree or add an awning around the area to help reduce the amount of sun. The other thing is in the summer to be sure that the shades are drawn closed so that the heat is not allowed to heat up the home while the unit is trying to cool it down.

Follow Energy Star Digital Thermostat Setting

One of the other things that you can use to your benefit is the thermostat. A digital thermostat is a great way to ensure that the efficiency is at the highest level. The thermostat can be set to make sure that it knows when to adjust the temperature and when it can take a break. This can be set to your normal routine instead of being stuck at a particular degree all day and night. Energy Star, a federal joint venture program run by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency recommends people should set their thermostat to 78 degrees when home, 85 degrees when away and 82 degrees when sleeping.
