your filters frequently and replace them
when clogged. A clogged filter means
your system has to work that much
harder and therefore uses more energy.
Sei your thermostat lower. When
you are away, or at night when you are
asleep, lower your thermostat a kw
degrees. You'll be just as comfortable and
save energy.
