February is now here, which means that we're right at the tail end of winter. You might think that it's too late at this point to reduce your energy bill this month, but that isn't the case!
​
We list here five "last minute" tips that you can implement at the tail end of the winter season to bank some extra savings. These tips are not too difficult to follow and will be useful for next winter as well. Let's get started:

For the majority of people today, it's hard to live without AC. Thanks to AC, more people are living in the south. However, today's homes aren't made for cross-ventilation, and summers are getting hotter and hotter.

To make matters worse, air conditioning still uses a lot of power. It brings in the indoor heat (or cold) and uses energy to push it outdoors. At this point, the US consumes more electricity for AC than one billion people in Africa use for all their needs.
​
The good news is that people can do much more to make their AC run more efficiently. Here's what you need to know...

​Your HVAC system is meant to be affordable and provide a comfortable room temperature all year round. But what happens when expectations don't meet reality?

Here's a surprising fact: according to the EPA, Americans spend 90% of their lives indoors.

They go on to say that this can lead to different skin and breathing problems. This is because pollution levels indoors can be 2-5 times higher than outdoor pollution.

Consequently, at least 9 million people die prematurely each year from causes linked to air pollution.

With November approaching, comfort will depend on heating rather than cooling very soon. Your AC unit will last longer if you continue to perform routine maintenance on it, before the cold season hits. Here are some tips to keep your AC running as efficiently as possible throughout the autumn and winter.

1. How to Run Your HVAC Unit
​
During the autumn, temperatures can range widely from warm and hot during the daytime, to cold and freezing during the nighttime. This means that you'll have to adjust the temperature throughout the day accordingly.

Now you don't want to run the AC and the heat at the same time (unless your AC has that option). Some ACs have industrial safeguards, but if yours doesn't, and you run both of them together at the same time, you can fry your wiring.

If you want to run both at once, then this is possible with a mini-split system. Check with your AC company if you aren't sure what kind of AC system you have.

So, if you can't run both at once, then how should you run your AC during autumn weather?
​
Generally speaking, you'll want to run cooling on warmer days and switch to heating at night before the temp reaches below freezing. 

We're now in the middle of fall, and no doubt you've felt the cold winds already. With the cold seasons approaching, it's time to prepare your home's air conditioning system. Here are some tips from experts to help you do just that:

Prepare Your HVAC System For Winter
​
Another term for this is "winterizing." You want to winterize your HVAC system for colder weather. Typically you'll want to do this before temps reaches below zero. So, here are Jade's professional tips for winterizing:
​

• Purchase draft snakes to keep heated air leaking out and the other way around.
• Re-caulk the holes and fix window weather-stripping, pipes, and foundation to reduce the costs of heating.
• Switch out the air filter to make sure that you don't suffer from allergens.
• Call a specialist to clean the vents.
• Keep fans running clockwise to diminish warming costs.
• Decrease the temperature of your water heater to about one hundred and seventy degrees Fahrenheit.
• Insulate pipes.

The hottest days of the year in Cumming GA are approaching an end, with August 2019 soon coming to an end. Your AC has been working hard for you, so it's now time to return the favor. The good news is that, as long as you've been taking care of it all along, only a few basic maintenance tasks should be required.

These expert AC tips apply equally to both window and central cooling air conditioners. So, here are the seven ways that you can keep your AC running efficiently after summer is over.

     1. Check Your Unit For Potential Problems

There are a few ways that you should check your AC unit for problems: visually, auditory, and aromatically.
