With the price of gas rising with the temperature, our customers are always asking us how they can save on their electric bills (crucial in the Arizona heat!)  At DUCTZ, we recommend the following 3 energy saving tips for almost immediate savings!

1.  Change your A/C filter regularly!  When it gets clogged it impedes air flow and makes your system work harder (see my "filter, schmilter..." blog posting.)

2.  Have your coil cleaned while you are at it!  Phoenix air is full of particulate - this is especially crucial for those rooftop mounted residential and commercial units.  Blocked coils are unhappy coils!

3.  Do yourself and your home a favor and clean your dryer vent!    Not only will this reduce the fire danger of a clogged vent, but like the examples above, a dryer has to work much harder when the vent is blocked.  A clear vent allows the dryer to work as designed, uses less heat (and energy) to dry, and reduces wear and tear on the equipment (a DOUBLE savings!)

Remember, your AC unit and dryer are two of the biggest energy hogs in your home.  Call us today at 623-262-3614 for your free Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) audit and we can help you get through the summer with a little less hot air (at least inside...!)
