Increase attic insulation. The attic plays a vital role in ensuring indoor comfort and energy efficiency. Attics in newer homes are usually well-insulated, while decades-old ones generally require the addition of at least one extra layer of insulation. This can lead to energy savings and allow you to recoup the cost in a matter of years.

Upgrade the HVAC system. HVAC systems that are more than 15 or 20 years old no longer work efficiently and should be replaced by one of today’s more energy-efficient models. Investing in this kind of home upgrade doesn’t just help increase your energy savings. It also gives you the chance to pursue other HVAC-related improvements like adding zones or installing a fresh air system.

Replace your old thermostat. Upgrading your home’s thermostat with one of the programmable type is also a great way to achieve energy savings. With minimal adjustments, it can alter indoor temperatures automatically at any given time of the day, even when no one’s at home or when everyone’s sleeping. Get in touch with your heating and air conditioning service contractor so they can help you find the best programmable thermostat for your home.

Install ceiling fans. Ceiling fans are more than just decorative elements in your home; they create a gentle, pleasant breeze that circulates the indoor air. Installing one will help enhance your cooling efforts during the summer months. Not only that, but keeping fans on costs less than running your air conditioner.
