Here are some things you can do to make your heating and air conditioning systems run more efficiently...

1. Have a programmable thermostat installed.
   A programmable thermostat will automatically operate your heating and cooling system according to your schedule. You wake up warm on a cold winter morning and step into a cool home on a sweltering summer day. The precise temperature control will save you energy dollars, and it will give you set-it-and-forget-it convenience. Precise control saves wear and tear on high-efficiency equipment.
2. Install 1 year air filters.
   Typical air filters are designed to be changed out every 1 to 3 months. Most home owners forget to change these filters regularly. This causes harmful dust and dirt to build up to a point where your home's air is not as clean as it could be and causes your HVAC equipment to work harder. With the installation of 1 year air filters, Ellis HVAC can remind you each year that it's time to change them out. Just one more valuable service we offer!
3. Have your outdoor units cleaned by a professional, bi-annually.
   We will clean the out and inside of your outdoor HVAC equipment. A clean HVAC unit is an efficient HVAC unit. *It is not recommended that you attempt to open the casing of your outdoor unit. There are many electrical and moving parts that are hazardous!
4. Be careful when performing yard work around your HVAC units.
   Trim bushes at least 1 foot away from outdoor units. Do not blow grass and debris toward your outdoor unit.
5. Have your HVAC units serviced twice a year.
   With a service agreement through Ellis HVAC we will take the HVAC worry out of your lives.
