How to Save Money on Your Energy Bill Without Sacrificing Comfort

High energy bills in Upper Arlington winters and summers are frustrating — especially if your home still doesn’t feel comfortable. Here are real ways to save money on your energy bill in Columbus without turning down the heat or giving up the AC.

1. Upgrade to a High-Efficiency HVAC System

Older systems often waste energy. Upgrading to a high-efficiency furnace or air conditioner (especially ENERGY STAR-rated) can cut your monthly bills by 20–40%.

Bonus: you may qualify for utility rebates and federal tax credits when upgrading in 2025.

2. Schedule Regular HVAC Maintenance

Clogged filters, dirty coils, and worn-out parts make your system work harder. Our twice-a-year service plans help keep your system running efficiently and reliably all year long.

3. Install a Programmable or Smart Thermostat

A smart thermostat can learn your habits and optimize comfort when you’re home, and save money when you’re away — even without you lifting a finger.

4. Seal Air Leaks and Insulate

Air escaping through gaps in ductwork, windows, and doors means your HVAC system works harder for the same result. Sealing leaks and boosting attic insulation can have a major impact on comfort and energy use.

5. Use Ceiling Fans Correctly

Fans don’t cool the air — they move it. But running fans clockwise in winter and counterclockwise in summer helps distribute warm and cool air more evenly, reducing strain on your system.

6. Don’t Skip Filter Changes

Changing your filter every 1–3 months ensures your system runs efficiently. A dirty filter restricts airflow and increases energy usage.
