In the economy today, we like to be able to save money wherever we can. Your furnace in the winter is accountable for a big portion of your energy bill. There are little steps you can take to make sure your furnace is running as efficiently as possible so it can save you money and heartache. The first thing you should do is ensure that you have Bartlett Heating and Air do your furnace maintenance each fall. We give the furnace a carbon monoxide check and then a 28 point inspection and cleaning to make sure everything is working properly. When your furnace is maintained and clean you will see improved efficiency and lower energy bills along with piece of mind that your furnace should last through the winter. The next easy thing you can do to make sure to change your furnace filter monthly! When you have a clogged furnace filter, the furnace has to work harder to do the same job. This raises your energy bills, costs you more money, and can make the furnace wear out or break faster than normal. Changing your furnace filter is easy, if you are unsure how to then call Bartlett Heating and Air and we can help. One last thing you can do to help your furnace efficiency is to check your homes insulation. When your home is properly insulated your home stays warmer longer which means your furnace has to work less hard for you. Insulation helps resist the temperature from outside coming in and keeping conditioned air inside your home. These are all simple things you should be doing to save on your energy bills. This will also help you out in the long run when your furnace runs better for longer. Call Bartlett Heating and Air today to schedule your HVAC maintenance!
