Congratulations on your new heat pump! You’re on your way to enjoying the benefits of the most environmentally friendly heating and cooling technology available. These tips and tricks can keep your energy use as efficient as possible and your monthly costs manageable.
Simple maintenance goes a long way.
Small things like cleaning your air filter and keeping debris away from outdoor units can help your heat pump run smoothly and extend its life span. For comprehensive care, schedule a regular maintenance check with MR. AIR NYC—our expert technicians will ensure your system performs at its best.
Keep the temperature consistent.
Having a consistent temperature allows your equipment to operate more efficiently and lowers your energy use. With a smart thermostat, you can program temperatures that suit your schedule, especially when you’re away.
Optimize airflow in your home.
Airflow should be directed towards open spaces in your home that will allow the heat or cooled air to disperse evenly and efficiently. If you have a ducted system, make sure that your ducts stay clean and clear. Experiment with your home’s layout and if obstructions ( like furniture) can be moved out of the way.
Control your device manually in the summer and winter.
Typically, “Auto” mode allows your heat pump to alternate between the heating and cooling settings. In the summertime or wintertime, avoid the auto setting to ensure you’re not using the A/C on an extra-sunny winter day or the heat on an exceptionally cool summer evening.
Make your home Weather Ready.
Maximize your heat pump’s efficiency by installing proper insulation and sealing air leaks. To seek professional guidance, contact a Weather Ready participating contractor and you could save thousands on your upgrades.
Enroll in the Select Pricing Plan.
By enrolling in the Select Pricing Plan, you could save money on your monthly bills compared to what you’d pay on our traditional electric rates. After one year, 80% of heat pumps users who moved to Select Pricing Plan saved money on electricity compared to what they would have paid if they hadn’t made the switch.
