Spring Energy Saving Tips

At Romano Brothers, we work hard to provide our clients with the best energy saving tips in the industry. That’s why we’ve put together the following tips to help you keep your energy bill down and your AC performing at its best.

Clean your refrigerator

Get rid of any old food you’re not going to eat. There’s no sense in cooling food you are never going to eat. Dust and remove the buildup of dirt on the refrigerator coils. Coils are the workhorse of your fridge and when they are dust and grime free they will save you money on energy.

Replace or clean your HVAC filters

Clean filters can help reduce your energy usage and costs by up to 15 percent. After a cold winter, it’s definitely time to get those filters replaced or cleaned for the spring. While this is something you can handle on your own, an HVAC technician can also help.

Energy saving tips to change your habits

Run full loads of laundry. Running your washer fewer times will save you energy and money. Drying your clothing on a line instead of running the dryer will save you even more.

Take short showers instead of baths

Filling the tub for a long relaxing soak uses a lot more energy than taking a short shower. Sometimes you need to unwind in the tub at the end of a hard week, but most days you can take a quick shower and use less energy to get yourself ready for the day.

Turn off the ceiling fans when you are not in the room

Ceiling fans make you feel cooler because the air from the fan is moving past your skin and cooling you off. If you’re not in the room, the fan is not doing its job. When you leave a room being cooled by a fan, turn that fan off.

Your HVAC system needs regular maintenance in order to serve you well. Don’t wait until your system breaks down on the hottest day of the year to call your HVAC pro. Call Romano Brothers today to schedule routine maintenance for your home and your energy savings will multiply.
