About this listen

Ready for warmer weather? Your home's energy needs are about to shift, and we've got you covered with essential tips to make the transition smooth and cost-effective.

The winter-to-spring changeover in eastern North Carolina brings unique energy challenges. That's why we invited our energy services representative TJ Smith to share expert advice on preparing your home for the warmer months while keeping your energy bills in check. TJ walks us through the critical importance of spring HVAC maintenance after those brutal 18-degree days we experienced this winter. Just like your car needs regular service, your heating and cooling system requires attention to run efficiently as we switch to cooling mode.

We dig into practical strategies that make a real difference, from proper ceiling fan direction settings to the ideal thermostat temperature ranges recommended by the Department of Energy. TJ also explains how your landscaping choices impact energy efficiency, particularly around outdoor HVAC units, and offers money-saving tips for pool owners facing potentially high pump operation costs. And, of course, tune into the end of the episode to catch Watts Happening at your co-op this month. Listen now!
