If you and your family members are away at work or at school for most part of the day, perhaps your HVAC system doesn&#8217;t need to be on all day. When the weather is pleasant, you don&#8217;t have to keep your HVAC running continuously. Decide your HVAC usage based on seasonal requirements and your lifestyle, and you are sure to spot opportunities for energy savings.<\/p>\n<p>You may also consider upgrading to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/zoned-hvac-faqs\/\">zoned HVAC<\/a> system to ensure only the rooms you are actually using are heated and cooled.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-13841\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/eco-friendly-hvac-practices-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Contact Galmiche &amp; Sons for More Eco-Friendly HVAC Practices\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/eco-friendly-hvac-practices-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/eco-friendly-hvac-practices-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upgrade_to_a_Smart_Thermostat\"><\/span>Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Updating to a smart thermostat is among the eco-friendly HVAC practices we recommend to St. Louis homeowners. You will have to plan for an upfront cost but in the long term you will recoup your investment and start saving money on your energy bills.<\/p>\n<p>A smart thermostat is a thermostat that you can control on your smart phone, via an app, and on smart assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant. You can easily adjust room\/home temperature while you are away. A smart thermostat records your energy usage and shares this information with you, helping you identify how you can make small adjustments to conserve energy.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seal_Leaks_in_Doors_Windows_and_Ductwork\"><\/span>Seal Leaks in Doors, Windows, and Ductwork<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Preventing leaks throughout your home is another way to improve energy efficiency. Lock your windows in winter to keep the heat in and cold air out. Use weatherstripping and insulation kits to seal leaks around doors and windows.<\/p>\n<p>Leaky HVAC ducts can account for 20% or more of energy loss. Insulating ductwork is one of the best eco-friendly HVAC practices. If your ductwork is located in the attic, check if it is insulated sufficiently. The summer heat in the attic can make your AC work overtime to cool your home, reducing HVAC efficiency.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Forget_to_Schedule_HVAC_Maintenance\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t Forget to Schedule HVAC Maintenance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Scheduling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/summer-hvac-maintenance-tips\/\">summer HVAC maintenance<\/a> before the season begins means that your air-conditioning unit is likely working efficiently. If you haven&#8217;t, book HVAC servicing from Galmiche &amp; Sons. We will clean your AC coils, replace filters (if dirty), check for loose connections, and perform other necessary checks to confirm that all is well with your HVAC units. Additionally, any issues that come to light during service can be repaired quickly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upgrade_to_an_Energy-Efficient_HVAC_System\"><\/span>Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient HVAC System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you have had your HVAC system for ten years or more, consider replacing it. Newer systems are more energy efficient and use less energy. Look for Energy Star products or those having a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). Their advanced components improve air quality, increase energy-efficiency, and reduce your carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Galmiche_Sons_for_More_Eco-Friendly_HVAC_Practices\"><\/span>Contact Galmiche &amp; Sons for More Eco-Friendly HVAC Practices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As St. Louis\u2019s leading experts for all things heating and cooling, we help St. Louis homeowners select energy-efficient HVAC systems and carry out installation.
