Ways to save money on energy Bills this summer

Simple Home & HVAC Upgrades That Can Save You Money

Summer heat in West Tennessee can be intense — and so can the energy bills that come with it. If you’re tired of watching your electric bill climb higher and higher every month, it might be time to take a closer look at your home and your HVAC system. At Superior Maintenance, we’re here to help you stay cool without breaking the bank. Here are a few smart ways to lower your energy bills this summer:

1. Start with Your HVAC System

Your HVAC system is one of the biggest energy consumers in your home — and also one of the best places to make improvements.

• Have your system professionally maintained: A simple tune-up can improve performance and catch issues before they become costly problems. Dirty coils, clogged filters, or low refrigerant can all cause your system to work harder (and cost more).

  
  

• Upgrade to an energy-efficient system: If your system is 10+ years old, it may be time for a replacement. New, high-efficiency HVAC units can drastically reduce your cooling costs — and we even offer financing options to make the upgrade more affordable.

  
  

• Consider a mini split system: If you’re cooling spaces you don’t use or struggling to cool hard-to-reach areas, a ductless mini split system might be a better (and more efficient) option.

2. Keep the Cool Air In & the Hot Air Out

Your HVAC system can only do so much if your home is leaking air. Take steps to improve your home’s insulation to save money on energy bills this Summer:

• Add blown-in insulation to your attic: This helps keep cool air from escaping and keeps hot air from getting in.

  
  

• Inspect and seal windows and doors: Check the trim and seals around your doors and windows. Small gaps or cracks can let a lot of air escape.

  
  

• Upgrade old windows and doors: Energy-efficient models can significantly improve your home's insulation and reduce the strain on your HVAC system.

3. Make a Few Simple Changes Inside

Not every energy-saving move requires a major renovation. Here are some easy habits that make a big difference:

• Keep curtains or blinds closed during the hottest part of the day to block out heat from the sun.

  
  

• Use ceiling fans to circulate cool air more efficiently.

  
  

• Avoid using heat-producing appliances during the hottest hours — run your oven, dryer, and dishwasher in the evening when temperatures drop.
