AC Tips*

​

• Do not let your heat escape! Make sure all your doors and windows are shut tightly.

• Check for leaks, and replace old weather stripping or caulk.

• Use your window shades and drapes to maximize heating benefits.

• Keep shades closed at night to conserve heat.

• During the winter days, open shades to let the sunlight in.

• Add humidity. Humid air feels warmer than dry air.

• Increasing your home's humidity helps you avoid winter colds and dry skin.

• Ask us about Trane Humidifiers.

• Keep your air filters clean.

• A dirty or clogged filter can make your furnace work harder, which costs you more.

• Much of the heat escaping homes is lost through the attic.

• Be sure to close off any attic vents or fans during the winter.

• Check on how well the attic is insulated. Our technicians can help.
