MCE's four spring cleaning energy hacks
Refresh your home with these spring cleaning hacks.
‘Tis the season for spring cleaning! While you reorganize and refresh your home for the year to come, it’s a great time to make some changes for more efficient energy use. Here are our top spring cleaning energy tips:
- Clean out your air filters. Before you turn on your AC to combat the summer heat, make sure your system is running as efficiently as possible by checking your filters and replacing them as necessary.
- Adjust your thermostat. When the weather starts to warm up, consider turning your thermostat up a few degrees so your system doesn’t have to work as hard.
- Check your insulation. Insulation plays a vital role in keeping your home temperature controlled. Check your existing insulation and seal air leaks in windows, doors, and vents for big energy savings.
- Upgrade old appliances. If some of your appliances need a fresh start this spring, consider upgrading to an ENERGY STAR appliance to save energy and money in the long run.
