Here’s How Your Heating System Is Wasting Energy

Energy efficiency is one of the main concerns that homeowners in the Salt Lake City area have when it comes to their heating system. While your system may be keeping your home at a comfortable temperature during the winter months, it may also be wasting energy without you knowing. This results in energy bills that are higher than they should be. Here are some ways your home’s heating system could be using too much energy:

Here's How Your Heating System Is Wasting Energy - Scott Hale

The System Itself Or Your Thermostats Are Old 

With proper maintenance, many heating systems can last several decades. However, just because your heating system still works fine, it doesn’t mean that it’s using energy as efficiently as possible. 

Many outdated systems aren’t as energy efficient as compared to newer ones…

The same goes for thermostats. Older, analog models typically aren’t as precise as newer ones. Just by replacing your thermostats, you can save a lot of money on your energy bills. 

To find out whether your entire heating system is old and needs replacement, it’s best to get in touch with a professional home appliance repair specialist or HVAC technician.

Not Having Regular Maintenance Done On Your System 

In order to keep working in the most energy efficient way possible, your home’s heating system needs regular maintenance. If this isn’t done, problems may develop that could result in your system having to work harder to output the same amount of heat. 

Poor Insulation 

Every winter, it’s a good idea to check the insulation of your home, particularly around the doors and windows. A poorly insulated home allows warm air to leak out, resulting in more energy being used to heat it.

Scott Hale is a local company that can help you improve the energy efficiency of your HVAC system. If you want to make sure that your heating system is working as efficiently as possible, don’t hesitate to set up a service appointment with one of our technicians.
