Furnace Check-list to Keep You Cozy and Comfortable
Did you know that half of the energy in your home is used by your heating and cooling system? That’s a lot of energy, which means your HVAC system is an important part of your home. Not only does it keep your family comfortable, but it also greatly impacts your utility bills. It is crucial to do an annual furnace check to help keep your utility bill at an affordable cost and keep your system as efficient as possible
DIY Furnace Checklist
– Change Your Filter
Set a reminder for yourself to change your filter regularly. As a best practice, we recommend doing this once a month, especially during seasons of peak usage like winter and summer. A dirty filter makes your system work harder to keep you warm and decreases air flow, which wastes energy, and ultimately ends up costing you more money. It also allows dust and dirt into your house which could affect your allergies, not to mention make you have to dust more often
– Review Your Thermostat Settings
As you notice the days getting cooler, take a look at what you have your thermostat set at. Make sure it’s in a comfortable setting for you when you’re home, but set it so that it doesn’t run as often when you’re not at home. Resist the temptation to turn your thermostat off. It will take much longer to warm your home when your entire home is cold. Walls, furniture, clothes, etc. will hold the current temperature in the home. Tip: Set the thermostat to the lowest temperature that is still comfortable for you. Each degree over 68 degrees F can add 3% to the amount of energy needed for heating.
– Schedule Service Maintenance
Maintaining your heating equipment is important because it keeps your system running at peak performance and helps prevent future problems, which usually also lead to unwanted costs. HVAC businesses and contractors get busy during the winter, so get ahead of the game and schedule your service at the beginning of fall before everyone else.
