Check Insulation
Over time, the insulation installed in your home can lose its impact. It can shift around and even flatten out so that it doesn’t provide as much of a buffer between the heat in your home and the colder temperatures outside. We can complete an in-home assessment to see if you have adequate insulation. If not, we can blow in more insulation to help keep more of the heat that your HVAC produces inside your home.
Seal Doors and Windows
Another way that heat can unwittingly escape your home is through minor cracks around your doorways and windows. Check your windows periodically to make sure that they stay closed, locked, and completely sealed. If you notice any cracks around your windows, you may need to invest in window services to address those concerns.
There may also be gaps around your doors that need to be sealed. You can often purchase extra pieces of insulation that are easy to install around your door and ensure an airtight fit. You may not think that these minor crevices are that big of a deal, but they really are. Losing just a little bit of the heated air in your home can greatly increase your energy costs as your HVAC system works overtime to try and help maintain a warm and comfortable environment.
Keep Up With Maintenance
We already mentioned the importance of professional care for your HVAC system. However, you also need to take care steps of your own. Whether you have a heat pump, a furnace, or some other type of heating system, they all need TLC from time to time.
One of the best things you can do for any HVAC system is to vacuum and dust your home regularly to reduce the amount of particles in the air that have the potential to filter through your HVAC system. Even with an excellent air filter in place, some particles can get through. And speaking of your air filter, you also need to change it out before it gets too clogged with dust and dirt.
If you have a gas or electric furnace, it’s also important to turn your furnace off completely and wipe down the inside of the heating chamber to remove buildup. This helps your heater to work more effectively and also reduces safety concerns. Dust buildup can lead to problems over time like overheating and less efficiency.
