YSK: Adjusting your HVAC dampers and taping leaks can DRASTICALLY reduce your electric bill

Why YSK: If you have a multistory home that has a large temperature difference between floors you may need to adjust your HVAC dampers and patch any leaks with aluminum tape.

As a first time home owner I learned this the hard way. My basement and 1st floor had a 10-15F difference in temperature with the basement always seeming to get most of the cooling. Adjusting my dampers significantly improved this and patching a shoe sized hole I found in the unfinished portion of the basement has made the temperature difference personally undetectable.

All in all, my HVAC went from needing 1-2 hours to cool to 30 minutes tops and Nest shows that I’ve pretty much halved my daily HVAC usage.
