As your trusted HVAC experts in Redlands, we understand how important energy efficiency is for both your wallet and the environment. Here are five professional tips to optimize your HVAC system's performance:

1. Schedule Regular Maintenance

A well-maintained HVAC system operates at peak efficiency. Our bi-annual maintenance plans ensure your system is clean, properly charged, and running smoothly. Dirty filters and coils can increase energy consumption by up to 15%.

2. Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat

Modern programmable thermostats can save you 10-15% on heating and cooling costs by automatically adjusting temperatures when you're away or asleep. We recommend and install top-rated smart thermostats that learn your schedule.

3. Seal Your Ductwork

Leaky ducts can waste 20-30% of the air moving through them. Our technicians can inspect and seal your ductwork to prevent energy loss, especially in attics and crawl spaces.

4. Consider a Zoning System

For larger homes in the Inland Empire, zoning systems allow you to heat or cool only the occupied areas, reducing energy usage by up to 30%.

5. Replace Older Units

If your AC is over 10 years old, upgrading to a new ENERGY STAR® certified model could cut your cooling costs in half. We offer free estimates on high-efficiency replacements.
