No matter how hard we try to fight it, unfortunately winter is on the way. Which means it’s about time to dig out the bulky winter coats and add that extra blanket layer to your bed. Trying to figure out how to stay warm and how to get the best results from your heater can feel impossible. Here are three important tips to ensure your heating system is running efficiently during the upcoming winter months.
1. Professional Installation
DIY projects can be fantastic for home décor and soap, and may have its own unique charm. However, when it comes to something as crucial as your furnace or boiler, it’s best to leave it to the professionals. Proper installation is key to an efficient system; a DIY approach or shoddy workmanship can lead to inefficiencies, safety risks, and higher energy bills. To ensure everything is done right, our HVAC experts will correctly size your furnace, properly connect all components, and provide ongoing maintenance through routine inspections.
2. Programmable Smart Thermostat
A programmable thermostat is a game-changer for busy homeowners wanting to streamline their daily routines. You can program your heating system to lower the temperature while you’re away or asleep and start warming up just before you return or wake up. Smart thermostats help prevent your furnace or boiler from running on high and overworking all day, every day, all winter long. Installing a smart thermostat can help extend the lifespan of your heating system and save you a good chunk on heating bills.
3. Regular Preventative Maintenance
Just like any other appliance, your furnace needs regular check-ups. It’s a good idea to have a professional technician perform a “tune-up” at least once a year to inspect components and catch any potential issues before they become big problems. This keeps your furnace running smoothly and efficiently when you need it to and reduces the risk of breakdowns during peak times, like winter.
As winter arrives, preparing your heating system is just as crucial as layering up in your coziest winter gear. By following these key tips on how to get the best results from your furnace or boiler, you can keep your home warm and your heating system running efficiently for many winters to come. Following these tips can help you safeguard your home’s comfort and energy savings.
