Ensuring Efficiency

With a chill in the air, proper functioning of your HVAC system is a must to keep your home and family safe and comfortable; in addition to conserving energy.  

Here are a few efficiency tips for a comfortable and enjoyable winter:

·         Despite an efficient and well-functioning HVAC system, your home is not warm. One of the culprits is the loss of hot air through the basement, attic or any other crawlspace. To prevent such loss, insulate your home and bridge any gaps of air loss.

·         Program your thermostat to a comfortable yet reasonable temperature to ensure conservation of energy.

·         Your HVAC system is bound to work harder in the peak winter months to keep your house warm. Dust accumulation is therefore natural in the air and furnace filters. Monthly cleaning or replacement is essential for healthy and proper air flow.

·         It is advisable to insulate water pipes and tanks.

·         Did you know that for every temperature reduction up to 10 degrees in your water heater, you save 3-5 percent on your energy bills? So, set the temperature of your water heater appropriately.

Despite regular heating maintenance, your energy bills rocket up in the chilly months; leaving you contemplating on the various reasons.

Follow these efficiency tips for a warm and snug winter.
