Energy costs can have a significant impact on your company’s bottom-line, but there are ways you can reduce your energy costs.

Heating & Cooling

- Have a service professional check your office air conditioning unit (s) before the summer heats up.

- Keep the office thermostat at 78 degrees or above. Every degree below 78 increases your cooling cost by almost 10%.

- Change your air conditioner filters every month

- If you have fans in the office -turn them on. Up to 70% of your summer electricity usage comes from your air conditioner. By turning on a fan, a room can feel up 5 degrees cooler. In the winter months, change the ceiling fans switches to a clockwise rotation. This allows the fans to bring the warmer air down.

Insulation

- Weather-strip the outer windows and doors. Make sure you have a sufficient amount of caulk and weather-stripping around the windows and doors to keep the warm air inside the office.

- Insulate all exterior outlets and electrical receptacles.
