Whenever it is possible to give your central heating and air conditioning system a break, by all means do it.
- I was able to do this and save on energy use and in turn save money.
But how can you do this? Well there are a few different ways. The way I did it was by getting a smart thermostat. By having a smart thermostat I was able to reduce the use of my central heating and air conditioning system by almost 50 percent! This was due to the fact of being able to have the heat or the a/c off while I am out of the house for long periods of time working or doing other things. The other way you can give your central heating and air conditioning system a break is to buy a portable air conditioning system and a portable space heater. These can also reduce your HVAC system usage. Because you can run the portable air conditioning system or the portable space heater half the time and then run the central heating and air conditioning system the other half of the time. I never tried that method but a friend of mine did and they saved about the same amount I am saving by using my smart thermostat. So both of those methods are great energy savers. The cheapest is the way I went. And that was simply just buying a smart thermostat and making great use of it in every single way through the app that comes for your cell phone and your computer to operate it.
