One easy trick to save $

Maintain the heating, ventilation, and ir conditioning (HVAC) system on your home with this one little trick: Keep it clean (this is one of our 7 principles of healthy housing).

Since about half of our energy dollars go to heating/cooling, it makes sense to do everything we can to help our equipment be more efficient. Debris can restrict airflow to the unit.

Before: Air handling equipment covered in leaves

After: Much tidier

This is something that I can do myself. It took me all of 3 minutes, and can easily be added to my Saturday chore list.
