Air filter HVAC maintenance in Zionsville

Switch Out Your Furnace Air Filter and Burn Less Energy

Clogged air filters make your HVAC system operate harder and burn more energy. Dusty filters mean a higher energy bill for you. A clean filter will not only make your HVAC system work better, but it will also help prevent untimely malfunctions. Anyone who's had the furnace go out in the middle of a freezing winter night will tell you it's well worth checking and replacing your filter.

You can buy an air filter at any chain or home and garden retailer. Just ensure you get the proper size, as a bigger apartment might need a larger air filter than a single-bedroom. You might also like to ask if the maintenance staff supplies their own replacements. Check the filter every month, even if it's supposed to last for 90 days. If you put it up to a light and aren’t able to see through it, that's an obvious indication it's time for a replacement.

Save Money on Monthly Bills with LED Bulbs

LED lights use less electricity than typical incandescent light bulbs and last much longer. If you're concerned about the upfront purchase amount, don't be. The cost of LED bulbs has dropped significantly over the years, and there are numerous inexpensive options.

The savings here is two-fold, as not only will you cut energy use, you'll also benefit from not needing to get replacement bulbs as much. Check with your apartment’s maintenance staff as they might utilize LED bulbs and provide you with them!

Automate Your New Lights With Smart Bulbs

Were you aware that your Amazon Echo or Google Home does more than simply play that song you're dying to listen to? Utilizing a smart plug or smart light, you can manage lights through voice commands or your phone app.

If you fail to shut off a light you may do so right from your phone instead of letting it burn all day. Or limit your power use even further by programming your lights to turn on and off automatically.

These smart and convenient solutions provide peace of mind in additional situations. If you're away on vacation or on a work trip, you can set your lights to activate automatically. You can give the appearance and make it appear that you're home by setting the light to flip on at the normal time you come home.
