Seasonal HVAC Tips to Help You Save Money.
If you live in a hot city, it can be very annoying when your HVAC system does not function properly or suddenly breaks down in the middle of working hours. Almost every business or homeowner needs regulated room temperature and thus, it is important to make sure your HVAC system functions properly. If your HVAC system does not work properly, it may be very difficult to handle the heat during the summer season. Even passing one day in extreme heat can be very challenging. A professional HVAC repair service can come in handy in such situations.

Unfortunately, high-tech HVAC systems are quite complicated and expensive. Therefore, if you don’t have sufficient knowledge about repair and maintenance, you need to hire a professional HVAC repair service. Without proper skills and knowledge, you may cause some unnecessary damage to the system. Thus, it is important to hire professionals. However, you also need to save some money. Here are some seasonal HVAC tips to save money. 

Change/Clean the Air Filter - It is very important to clean the air filter. It can help you lower the energy consumption of the unit by up to 15%. During summer season, you should also wash the reusable filter or replace a disposable filter once a month. 

Clear Area Around Outdoor Unit - You need to keep vegetation a minimum of 2 feet away from your unit. The unit should be able to freely pull in air. You should also clear the leaves in the fall. 
 
Clear the Drain - drain is the primary cause of energy waste. A dirty filter can cause your unit to work harder, and send less cool air. 

Clean Indoor and Outdoor Units - In order to keep your fan running efficiently, you need to clean indoor and outdoor units regularly. It is important to remove dust and other kind of buildup from the evaporator oil. 

Seal Cooling/Heating Ducts - You need to make sure that all the windows, doors, crannies and nooks are properly sealed and shut. If cool air does not escape your home, you will waste less energy. You will also feel more comfortable. 

Check the Thermostat - It is advised to set the thermostat at ideal temperature. It should neither be too hot nor too cold. Setting your unit's temperature to colder than what you require will not cool the house quicker. In fact, it will keep your machine running longer than necessary. Make sure you set it at comfortable temperature. This will help you save up to 10-12% energy on your annual electricity bills. Setting your temperature at 78F will be ideal.
