Heating and cooling your home can be expensive. And with energy prices on the rise, it can become a financial burden. With heating and air conditioning costs making up over half of annual residential energy costs, it's no wonder that so many homeowners are looking for ways to make their homes more energy efficient. Fortunately, there are simple ways to do so. Older homes that are thirty years old or more have more trouble with energy loss than most other homes. That's because new energy saving technology has made a rapid increase in recent years. Probably the biggest source of energy loss in an older home is an outdated furnace or air conditioning system. While it may be initially expensive to do so, replacing your old units with new energy saving models can dramatically increase your savings in the long run. But there are other simpler ways to cut energy loss as well. One easy method is to make sure you are changing your air conditioner filter regularly. Most experts recommend about once every three to six months. You can also cut costs by keeping your thermostat on a regular program. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, properly using the pre-programmable settings on your thermostat can save up to $180 per year. Sealing the seams and connections on the ducts that distribute air throughout your home is also a great way to save energy. Talk to a trusted air conditioning Round Rock specialist for more easy tips on how to cut energy costs in your home.
