Beat the Heat: Summer Energy Savings Tips from Hans Heating & Air
As the sweltering heat of summer descends upon Montgomery and surrounding areas, keeping cool becomes a top priority in the River Region. Maintaining a comfortable temperature within your home shouldn’t come at the expense of skyrocketing energy bills! At Hans Heating & Air, we understand the importance of energy efficiency and want to empower you with practical tips to stay cool while saving money this summer.
Operate Your Thermostat Efficiently
Did you know that you can save as much as 10% a year on your heating and cooling bills by simply turning your thermostat back 10% to 15% for 8 hours? (U.S. Department of Energy).). Set your thermostat to the highest comfortable temperature and use ceiling fans to enhance airflow. Take advantage of programmable thermostats to adjust temperatures based on your schedule and save on cooling costs.
Schedule Regular AC Maintenance & Tune-Ups
Just like your car needs regular oil changes, your air conditioning system requires routine maintenance to operate efficiently. Regular maintenance not only prevents costly repairs but also improves energy efficiency, ultimately lowering your utility bills.
Spring is the ideal time for air conditioning tune-ups, but if you missed it, don’t worry! Summer tune-ups are still beneficial. When our North American Technician Excellence (NATE)-certified
technicians conduct an AC tune-up during the summer, we provide:
- Refrigerant level check
- Electrical connections inspection
- Visual system inspection
- Condensate drain clearing
- Part lubrication for smooth operation

Use Fans and Proper Ventilation
Turn off ceiling fans when not in use and utilize bathroom and kitchen fans to remove excess heat and humidity. Proper ventilation helps maintain indoor comfort and reduces the workload on your cooling system.
Keep Hot Air Out and Cool Air In
Seal cracks and openings around doors and windows to prevent warm air infiltration. Use weatherstripping and caulking to seal gaps and improve energy efficiency.
