Energy efficiency isn’t an oxymoron. It’s time to increase your energy efficiency for winter before your bills hit your mailbox. How? There are some surprisingly simple ways to use less energy and spend less on your utility bills. Take a look at these three energy efficiency heating tips:
Seems simple, but changing the air filter can have a significant impact on how efficient your furnace is. The air filter works to pull dust and dirt out of the air to protect your system from damage. But once it gets full, there's a serious damper on its effectiveness. Cleaning or changing the air filter can make a big difference in how efficient your furnace is.
Regular maintenance is vital to making sure your system is running effectively, but it also impacts your system's efficiency. When all the moving parts are properly lubricated and adjusted, and when everything is clean and calibrated and running at peak condition, it's going to be most efficient.
If you’re still using a manual thermostat, or even an older model programmable one, it’s time to upgrade to a smart thermostat. It will allow you to program your heat to fit your lifestyle and your needs, saving you money on the cost of keeping your home comfortable when it’s cold outside.
