Avoid These 3 Mistakes to Lower Your Energy Bills as a Homeowner
Plumbline Services president Bob Logan warns homeowners against turning off their HVAC system during work hours, opening windows at night, and not changing air filters, as these mistakes can increase energy bills. Instead, he recommends setting a comfortable temperature on a programmable thermostat, sealing up the home, and changing air filters every 30 days. Other tips include installing LED lights, closing blinds during the hottest part of the day, and only running the dishwasher and washing machine when they are full.
