As winter draws near, make sure your furnace is working at optimum capacity. A few tweaks here and there can save you thousands of dollars and have a significant effect on the environment as well! Here are just a few ways to make sure you’re getting the greatest possible bang out of your energy buck:Seal up the cracks. A home heats consistently because heat gradually moves from hot spaces to cold spaces until the entire home is the same temperature. For that reason, however, the heat in your home will also escape to the big, cold space outside through cracked windows and especially through the attic. Be sure to bulk up on insulation, seal or replace old windows, seal any cracks leading to the outside, and keep that precious heat inside.It may be time for a replacement. If your furnace is 10-15 years old, a new furnace could be up to 30% more efficient than your old one. To take advantage of the latest technology in energy efficient heating, ask about our hybrid heating systems.Clean your air filter. Your air filter makes sure the air inside your home is clean. However, if the filter is dirty, it restricts the flow of warm air throughout the house. Once a month, check the filter and clean it if necessary so as to not impede the flow.For more energy-saving tips or to update your Utah furnace, contact the heating professionals at Any Hour Services!
