Money Savings
1. Turn off equipment when not in use: During the course of a busy day, it’s easy to get distracted and keep equipment running longer than necessary. So, encourage everyone to power down when equipment is not in use.
2. Practice regular HVAC maintenance: Service technicians have a mantra: “Maintenance matters.” That’s particularly true in the case of your HVAC equipment.
3. Add weatherstripping around windows and doors: You can reduce costly drafts at your business by adding weatherstripping, caulking, or foam.
4. Check central heating and cooling duct systems for leaks: The ducts that circulate the cold and warm air throughout your building appear innocent-looking enough. But watch out, they can be big energy wasters. Sometimes they are not sealed properly. Other times they are not insulated well
