If your energy bills are starting to rise as the weather drops, there’s an easy way to save money right away. When your HVAC filter is dirty, your system has to work harder and uses more energy. Try a quick “light test” to check your filter. You might save $10 to $20 on your bill this month, depending on how much you use your system and your rates. It only takes two minutes, and you don’t need any tools.
“A dirty filter makes your system work harder, using more energy and unnecessarily driving up your utility bill,” says Jason Kerr, president at Intelligent Service.
