Energy efficiency<\/a> is relatively easy to improve with just a few adjustments. Nothing is stopping you from replacing older equipment<\/a>, replacing all of your insulation or even razing your home to build a brand new one\u2014but there\u2019s no reason to go to such lengths. The truth is, there are many reasonable, affordable, and uncomplicated ways to get more out of every ounce of energy you use.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.5.6″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/carolinacomfortsc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/energy-efficient-hvac-system.jpg” alt=”energy efficient hvac system” title_text=”energy-efficient-hvac-system” show_bottom_space=”off” _builder_version=”4.6.1″ custom_margin=”0vw|0vw|0vw||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0vw|0vw|0vw||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0vw||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_radii=”on|50px|50px|50px|50px” border_width_all=”3px” border_color_all=”#8fc6e8″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.6.0″ width=”90%” max_width=”1140px” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.5.6″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Legionnaires Disease and What It Taught Us” _builder_version=”4.6.1″ text_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”0px||0px|” custom_padding=”10px||0px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_2_font_size_phone=”” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As your home settles over time, the seals in ductwork become loose. Conditioned air can escape through these gaps instead of going where it\u2019s needed. You wind up with rooms feeling warmer than they should, and your first reaction may be to turn the thermostat down even further. Leaking ductwork can be a big source of wasted energy and money. Thankfully, by just covering these seams in special tape, you can prevent those leaks from happening and funnel cooled air to where it will do the most good. A professional can help identify gaps and address the right areas.<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.6.0″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”rgba(255,255,255,0.62)” background_color_gradient_end=”rgba(0,55,99,0.55)” background_color_gradient_start_position=”78%” custom_margin=”||-15px|” custom_padding=”0px|0px|50.4375px|0px|false|false” z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.6.0″ custom_margin=”0px|||” custom_padding=”0px||12px||false|false” z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Legionnaires Disease and What It Taught Us” _builder_version=”4.6.1″ text_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”0px||0px|” custom_padding=”10px||0px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_2_font_size_phone=”” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Drafts in your home can act just like leaks in air ducts. They siphon cool air out of a structure, leading to discomfort and higher bills. Common places to find these leaks are around windows, doors, and electrical outlets. Often, running a thin line of caulk around these areas is enough to help. However, a professional can evaluate your home for areas needing extra work.<\/a><\/p>\n While it\u2019s possible to buy a new thermostat from many big box stores, it\u2019s a better idea to hire an HVAC service to install a new model<\/a>. Why? First, you know it\u2019s being done correctly. Even minor electrical work is beyond the skills of many homeowners today. More importantly, you\u2019ll have an expert train you on the proper way to maximize its features.<\/p>\n More than 90 percent of homeowners ignore their thermostats\u2019 advanced settings and use them exclusively for manual adjustments. When you consider how much recent advancement has been made in climate control, you know that speaking with a pro is a must. Now, not only can you use a cell phone to change or program your thermostat, you can use a predictable model that you never have to program. It bases its adjustments on your normal habits.<\/p>\n You can also set up alerts and reminders for a wide variety of incidents, including weather monitoring and out-of-the-ordinary energy use. Combined, these features result in optimal comfort and significant cost savings.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_color=”#ce4c40″ z_index_tablet=”500″ box_shadow_style=”preset4″ box_shadow_color=”#004a97″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.1″ text_font=”|700|||||||” text_text_color=”#ffffff” text_font_size=”20px” link_font=”|100|||on|||#8fc6e8|” link_text_color=”#ffffff” header_text_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”|10px||10px” z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t matter what time of day it is, or even what day it is.
