Keeping your home warm during the frigid winter sometimes comes with a high price. Heating accounts for over 40% of monthly utility bills, and according to the U.S. Department of Energy, it’s one of the most expensive systems to operate in a home.
Save money on your monthly heating bill and improve energy efficiency with these proven strategies:
Professional Heating Tune-Up
It’s crucial that your furnace, boiler, or heat pump receive an annual tune-up. It’s the most convenient, easy, and cost-efficient way to improve your heating system’s energy efficiency and performance. Your heating system works hard to keep your home warm; without the proper maintenance, the system has to exert extra effort to produce the same amount of heat — increasing your energy bill. Regular heating maintenance will also extend the life of your system and reduce repair needs.
Get an Energy Audit
How energy-efficient is your home? With rising energy bills, it’s important to optimize your home’s energy efficiency the best you can. During an energy audit, a professional HVAC technician will evaluate your current heating system and check them against your load calculations, structure, and other efficiency factors. With the information from the energy audit, you’ll be able to develop a plan to improve your energy efficiency.
Upgrade Your Heating System to a New Energy-Efficient Model
A newer, energy-efficient heating system has several advantages — including saving on energy costs. Older heating systems work harder to provide the same performance. The efficiency of an old furnace or boiler ranges from 56% to 70%, whereas a newer energy-efficient model can achieve up to 99%.
Telltale signs your heating system needs an upgrade include:
- It’s over 10 to 15 years
- Your heating system needs frequent repairs
- Your energy bills are increasing
- Your furnace or heat pump struggles to keep your home comfortable
California homeowners who choose to upgrade their old heating system through AIS Heating & Air Conditioning replacement services are eligible for up to $5,000 in rebates — you save money, help the environment, and improve your home’s efficiency.
Install a Smart Thermostat
A smart thermostat in your home can help regulate temperature by programming the system on and off during certain times of the day. Smart thermostats can be conveniently controlled through a mobile app and easily updated according to your schedule. It’ll help you reduce energy waste and ensure a smooth and consistent airflow for the desired hours of the day.
