Top Ways to Reduce Your Energy Bills with HVAC Upgrades

If you’re feeling the pinch of rising utility bills, your HVAC system may be part of the problem — but it can also be the solution. At Higdon Service, we specialize in helping homeowners throughout the Tennessee Valley improve comfort while lowering heating and cooling costs. Here are some of the most effective ways to save:

Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Equipment

New HVAC systems are built with higher Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEER), meaning they use less energy to produce the same results. If your system is over 10–15 years old, upgrading could result in lower monthly bills and fewer repair issues down the line.

Install a Smart Thermostat

Smart thermostats allow for programmable temperature settings and remote control from your phone or tablet. They help reduce energy usage by automatically adjusting when you're away or asleep, giving you both convenience and cost savings.

Focus on Airflow and Air Quality

Air filters, ductwork, and vents all impact how efficiently your HVAC system runs. Dirty ducts or clogged filters can strain your equipment and waste energy. Proper duct cleaning and filter replacement not only improve airflow but also support better indoor air quality.

Seal and Insulate

Even the best HVAC system can’t perform efficiently in a poorly sealed home. Upgrading insulation and sealing leaks around windows, doors, and ductwork can further reduce energy waste and keep temperatures more consistent.
