These past two years have allowed thousands of individuals to work from home. If you are one of these fortunate people, you have the comfort and safety of home. You can cut down on your gas expenses and suddenly have extra time in your day. However, there can be some downsides to working from home. You might be consuming more electricity and water. Luckily for you, Superior AC & Heat has some tips for using your HVAC system efficiently and cost-effectively. We will help you create a workspace that is comfortable and affordable, which will help boost your productivity levels.
Use Your Ceiling Fan
Using a ceiling fan is much less expensive than having your air conditioning unit on. The ceiling fan also provides circulation which improves your comfort overall. Only use the ceiling fan in the room you are working in and turn it off when you are done using a room.
If you don’t have a ceiling fan, it is worth investing in one. However, you can also get a small desk fan or a standing fan.
Keep Your Air Clean with an Air Purifier
Your indoor air quality plays a big role in your health. It’s the air you will be breathing 24/7 when you work from home. Unclean air can cause respiratory problems and allergies. Don’t jeopardize your health. Invest in an air purification system. Superior AC & Heat can install this system and ensure that it works properly year-round. Air purifiers reduce dust and other particles in the air. They also eliminate germs and unpleasant odors from your home too.
If you are a proud pet owner, then you should really consider investing in an air purification system. Your pet’s fur roams freely in your air, which contaminates it, as well as dirties your air filters, and makes your HVAC system work harder.
Change Air Filters Regularly
Air filters need to be changed once every three months, or once a month if you own a pet. These filters trap contaminants, dust, fur, pet dander, and other particles roaming around your house. When the filters are clogged up, your HVAC system needs to work harder to pump out the air, which takes a financial toll on your electricity bill.
Clean Your Home and Use a Dust Cloth
Clean your home as often as you can, especially if you will be spending most of your time there. If you use a vacuum cleaner, change the filters regularly and vacuum at least twice a week. If you have wood, tile, or laminate flooring, then you should sweep and mop twice a week. Use a dust cloth to clean your workspace surfaces for they can get dusty pretty fast. This will keep your environment healthy and comfortable.
