Vacuum vents and Save Energy

Sometimes as we are cleaning up, we will forget about some places in the house. One place not to forget is your vents. By keeping the air vents clean you are saving energy. Your heater and air conditioner work keeping your house or apartment warmed or cooled. The harder it has to work, the more money your spend.

Don't make your air system work harder than it needs to.

Every month or so, locate all the vents and stick your vacuum in them and start sucking up the junk that accumulates. You may be surprised. This cleaning will save energy and cut down on nasty allergens. Every couple of years look into getting a professional to come in and get a whole air duct cleaning.

While you are cleaning those vents out, make sure they are not blocked. The more vents you have blocked, the more energy you are wasting. Make sure while you incorporating the Feng Shui don't block the heating vents.
