Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans have two directions clockwise and counterclockwise in upward or downward motion. In wintertime, you want to have an upper motion where it takes the warm air and brings it up. In the summertime, you want it to be counterclockwise which is a downward-pushing motion. It will push all the cold air that’s coming out of the top vents down into the bottom.

Light bulbs

Switch from incandescent light bulbs to LED lights. An incandescent light bulb gets really hot and emits all the heat down on you. Plus it costs more.

Filters

Replace your filters. One to two inches thickness of filters are supposed to be replaced between 1 to 3 months, and 3 to 4 inches filters every six to nine months.

Thermostat

A smart thermostat has an auto feature and a lot of memory setting sections that will regulate the temperature using your furnace and ac unit efficiently.

Attic fan

Installing an attic fan can help push all the hot air out of the attic and reduce the temperature inside your house.

Heat-reducing window film

This works exactly like tint in the windows on your car.

Insulation

Depending on the climate you’re in, you’re supposed to have a certain type and amount of insulation.

Shades

Use thick Roman shades to cool your room and keep the heat outside.

A/C inspection

Fill up the levels of freon. Low levels of freons can overwork the compressor. You should also check if it’s leaking, as it can cause a tremendous amount of wear and tear.

Duct booster fan

It replaces the existing wall or floor-mounted vent cover and works as a turbo sucking and blowing all the air that’s trying to get into that room.
