HVAC Tip 2



Keep Temperature Even Where Your Thermostat Is.  Lamps Or Televisions Nearby Can Trick Your Thermostat Into Thinking The House Is Hotter Than It Is And Waste Energy And Money Running A/C Longer.
Be sure that the area around your thermostat is a neutral temperature.  Move items that give off cold or heat.  If your thermostat is near a drafty window, consider replacing, upgrading, adding weather stripping or insulating your window to reduce drastic changes in temp.  Many people do not realize that lamps and electronics give off enough heat to increase the temp in the area surrounding them.  That little bit of shift can cause your HVAC to work harder than needed which can hike your energy bills more than necessary.
