Winter is fast approaching. Below are a few things to consider in saving some operating costs during this heating season.
1. Locate & Identify Energy Inefficiencies
Look for leaky ductwork, dirty air filters, lack of insulation, loose duct connections. These things can be limiting the efficiencies of your heating system and adding cost to your heating bill. On older houses with wood fireplaces, check to make sure that your chimney flue is closed when the fireplace is not in use so that your heat won’t go up the chimney.
2. Don’t Skip out on Scheduled Maintenance
Hiring a professional to maintain your HVAC systems will help you keep your systems running efficiently & affordably. Scheduled maintenance can also help to catch small issues before they develop into large & costly repairs.
3. Utilize Programmable Thermostats
Program your HVAC system to align with your operating hours. Ensure that you are not paying to heat and cool an empty space.
4. Confirm Your HVAC Equipment Is The Right Fit
Aged, inefficient, or improperly sized systems could be adding energy costs each month. To help save costs, make sure your system is properly sized for the space.
5. Don’t Put Off System Replacement
It is hard to save money by using an HVAC system that is past it’s prime. As HVAC systems age, they become outdated & lose efficiency and may need costly repairs.
