.Proper maintenance will help your cooling unit run more efficiently.

Clean Filters
Keep your air filter clean. A dirty or clogged filter can make your furnace and fan work harder, which costs you more.

Fans
Whole house fans help cool your home by pulling cool air through the house and exhausting warm air through the attic. They are effective when operated at night and when the outside air is cooler than the inside.

Thermostat
Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible in the summer. The less difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower your overall cooling bill will be. Don't set your thermostat at a colder setting than normal when you turn on your air conditioner. It will not cool your home any faster and could result in excessive cooling and therefore, unnecessary expense.

Insulation
Keep in mind that insulation and sealing air leaks will help your energy performance in the summertime by keeping the cool air inside.

Proper maintenance will help your heating unit run more efficiently. Electric and oil heaters should get professional attention at least once a year and gas heaters every other year.

Explore outside
Check the exterior of your heating unit. Avoid stacking anything against the heat pump or draping anything over it. Hose the outside unit down to clear it of dirt, leaves and grass clippings. If your indoor unit appears to have excess water around it, see whether the condensate drain and pan are blocked.

Watch that water heater
It’s also not likely to be noticeable if you turn down the thermostat on your water heater to say 120 degrees from about 140 degrees.
