If you find that you are paying extremely higher energy bills than normal, it may be due to your heating and cooling in Skokie. Heating your home in the winter and cooling it during the summer is typically the largest cost of your monthly energy use, but there are several ways to cut back on the energy used to keep your home comfortable all year round.
One of the most expensive, but most effective, ways to save on heating and cooling in Skokie, is to invest in a heating and air conditioning unit that is sized to accommodate your home. Replacing the heating and air conditioning unit with one that is energy efficient will not only save you money on the energy bill, but in many situations, you can also use the purchase as a tax deduction.
It is important to have the heating and cooling in Skokie inspected at least once each year to make sure everything is operating in good condition. It is better to have a routine inspection that allows the technician to catch a potential problem than to wait until the furnace goes out on the coldest day of the year. An easy way to save on the cost of energy is to change the temperature settings by a few degrees lower than you normally would in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer.
For even more efficiency, consider having a programmable thermostat installed, which will allow you to set the temperature to automatically go up or down when needed. For example, you can program the thermostat to reduce the temperature at night while you are sleeping and go up when you wake up in the morning. When you have the heating and cooling in Skokie inspected, request to have the duct work cleaned and inspected as well. Frequently check to make sure there is nothing blocking the air from coming out of the vents, such as furniture or drapes. It is important to change the air filter every three months to help keep the temperature even and prevent dust and debris from blowing into your home.
