Keeping your home adequately heated is a must for homeowners that want to guarantee their living space is comfortable when it’s cold outside. Due to the complexity of home heating systems and your need to make sure you understand and trust your system, it’s normal to have some questions.
Here are some of the most common home heating questions we get and their answers:
- Why is my heating system failing? The top question many homeowners have regarding their heating system is why it’s breaking down. The truth is there are many different issues that can affect your HVAC system. Factors like age, preexisting damages, and more can cause your system to wear down. You don’t need to diagnose the problem on your own, however. Call us whenever your heater isn’t functioning properly, and we’ll look at it.
- How do I keep my energy bill down? It’s no secret that the more you use your heating system, the higher your energy bill is going to be. However, that doesn’t mean you should try to suffer through a cold indoor temperature in an effort to save the most money possible. It’s important to find a good middle ground between comfort and not keeping your thermostat so high that your energy bills skyrocket and your heating system overstrains itself. We recommend not going over 72 degrees when setting your thermostat in the winter.
- Can I repair my heater on my own? Obviously, you don’t want to push off heating repair, especially when it’s cold outside, but that doesn’t mean you should try to fix your heating issues on your own. Replacing your air filters every three months is the extent of what you should do by yourself. The rest of your heating concerns you can leave to us.
