When it comes to improving your home, there are several cost-effective solutions that you can take advantage of to lower your power bill, keep your home cleaner, and ensure the highest quality for your family.

1. Have your HVAC system inspected and serviced by RHP prior to the beginning of each heating/cooling season.

2. Change your air filters every month. Dirty filters can increase operating costs. Change the filter each time you pay your utility bill.

3. Make sure an outside air conditioning unit or heat pump isn’t blocked by shrubbery, leaves or other items.

4. Make sure your HVAC system is properly sized for the space it is intended to heat/cool.

5. Set the thermostat on the highest comfortable setting in the Summer. Raising the temp just 2 degrees can reduce cooling costs by as much as 5%.  In the winter, you’ll want to lower your temp to the lowest comfortable setting.

6.  Make  sure heating registers and draperies; furniture or rugs do not block  vents. These vents should also be cleaned regularly with a vacuum or a broom.

7. Make  sure the attic is properly ventilated to relieve excess summer heat. 

8. Check  to make sure your home is adequately insulated. 

9. Have RHP inspect your heating system's ductwork to ensure that it is clean and well insulated.
