- Clean or replace furnace filters once a month or as needed.
- Set thermostats as low as you can in the winter and as high as you can in the summer.
- Keep air registers, baseboard heaters, and radiators clean. Don't block them with furniture.
- Tune up your heating and cooling equipment regularly. Become a member of Krinkie's One Hour Heating & AC Comfort Club to keep your heating and cooling units running at peak performance.
- Seal and insulate your heating and cooling ducts.
- During cold weather, keep drapes and shades on south-facing windows open during daytime and closed at night. Keeping them open lets in the warmth of the sun; closing them at night reduces chilly drafts.
- During hot weather, keep drapes and shades closed during the day.
- Bleed trapped air from hot-water radiators every season; this may be a task best left to a Krinkie's professional.
- Choose energy efficient air conditioners, furnaces and other heating/cooling equipment. Select Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio air conditioners (SEER).
