How to Make Your Home More Comfortable and Energy Efficient

1. Schedule an annual routine check-up for your heating and cooling
equipment to keep the system running as efficiently as possible, and
check the air filter each month to see if it needs to be replaced.

2. Seal cracks around windows and doors with caulk or weather stripping
to prevent cool, air conditioned air from escaping.

3. Install a programmable thermostat to adjust the temperature at certain
times of the day, automatically regulating the temperature when you're
away.

4. Consider replacing an older system with a newer, more efficient model,
such as the Dave Lennox Signature(R) Collection XC21 Air Conditioner,
which is ENERGY STAR(R) qualified and can reduce annual energy bills
by hundreds of dollars, compared to a standard air conditioner.

5. Add extra insulation to the attic. Insufficient insulation may result
in the home's heating and cooling system having to work harder to
regulate the indoor temperature.
