Trim Springtime Energy Costs

Springtime Energy Costs

As the seasons change in Ransom Canyon, Texas, you may notice an increase in your energy bills. The warmer months tend to hit homeowners hard in the form of higher monthly bills. With a few simple changes, you can reduce your cooling costs even when it’s warm outside.

Use Fans

During the spring and summer seasons, use fans as much as possible to keep air moving in the space. Although fans don’t produce any cool air, they can create a cooling effect as the air blows. Fans don’t require nearly as much energy to operate as your air conditioning system, so try to utilize them frequently. Both ceiling fans and freestanding fans can provide air movement.

Keep Registers Clear

< p>If you’re in the habit of piling stuff up around your HVAC registers, it’s time to break that habit. The system requires plenty of space around the vents and returns to operate efficiently. Even a piece of furniture that sits too close to one of these open sections could result in reduced efficiency. Poor efficiency causes the system to work harder to move the air, which means it’s using more energy and costing you more each month.

Maintain the System

Routine maintenance is one of the best ways to trim your bills throughout the year. Replace the HVAC filter once a month to keep the air moving and reduce the contaminants that can get into your system. Having the ducts cleaned can also improve efficiency, which in turn can help reduce your bills.

During a duct cleaning service, an HVAC technician will use strong suction to remove any dirt, dust, pollen, dander, pet hair, and other debris that settles in the ducts. Air can’t move as freely when the ducts get clogged with stuff, which happens over time. After cleaning out the ducts, your technician may also use sanitizing spray to kill any biological growth in the system. This service can help reduce your bills and improve the indoor air quality.

I am so thankful for BTAC and the guys they sent out to repair a major hot and cold water leak under our slab. They knew what they were doing, and were very professional and polite, and I might add compassionate. They are an asset to the company!

To the credit of BTAC and it's management, I had a frustrating experience with them on a call out for a problem with a blower motor. I made my opinion known and contacted them through email to express it. They responded, sent out new technicians and made it right. That doesn't happen very often these days, and it's good to see a company show it cares about that. If you call these folks to come out, and your experience is what you expected, let them know, they'll work with you. 👍

I'm new to the Lubbock area and Bruce Thornton Air Conditioning was the first company we called. They had someone at our house to help in an hour and the service man had our AC fixed in 30 minutes. Their customer service was great from the receptionist who answered the phone to the hvac professional who fixed our AC!
