Are you aware of how expensive your heating and cooling is? It is the most expensive system than any other in your home and it uses more energy.

Your heating and cooling will approximately comprise 45% of your yearly utility bill.

Not only this, but they also have a negative environmental impact. Studies have recently shown that home heating and cooling accounts for over 150 million tons of carbon dioxide each year; 12% of the USA's sulfur dioxide and 4% of the nitrogen oxide emissions.

These 9 hints will assist you in reducing your utility bill and assist the environment at the same time.

Home Heating and Cooling Hints
1) One of the largest factors to saving is to turn your system temperature as low as is comfy in the cold months and as high as is comfy during the warm months.

2) This is something we try to practice at home. Save on heating by opening your curtains on the sunny side of your house during daylight hours for the sun to warm your home. And during the hot season, open your curtains and windows at night to let in some cool air and then keep them closed tight during the day.

3) Fit heat-resistant radiator reflectors on the wall behind your radiator.

4) Keep your warm-air registers, radiators and baseboard heaters clean.

5) Bleed your hot-water radiators or air a couple of times a year. Have a professional demonstrate, if you are not sure how to do this.

6) Switch off all exhaust fans within 25 minutes of using.

7) Keep your furnace filters clean, by cleaning and replacing often.

8) Replace appliances and heating/cooling systems with those with a high energy efficiency rating.

9) Examine each room for air leeks and seal as appropriate.

Regardless the type of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning you have in your home, it is possible to save money and improve comfort by properly looking after your equipment.
