We expect to hear our furnaces cranking in the middle of
winter. It’s a reassuring sound when the wind blows and snow piles up
outside. But if you’re hearing it constantly and your furnace seems to
run non-stop, you’ll want to consider that sound as a warning.

A
furnace should be able to run just enough to heat the air in your
living area to your desired temperature, then rest. If it keeps running,
it means your conditioned air is leaking out of your house or your
furnace is not running efficiently and needs either maintenance or
replacement. Fortunately, you don’t need to guess—there’s a foolproof
way to find out just what’s making your heating system work so hard.

Schedule an Energy Assessment

Trying various upgrades around your home to see if they solve your heating problems can be a very expensive, hit-or-miss way to attempt to increase energy efficiency. An energy assessment is hands-down the most effective way to get to the root of your problems and take targeted, specific steps to solve them.

Our
energy experts have the training, experience and technology to find out
exactly how your house consumes energy and where the inefficiencies
are. Many homeowners are surprised to find that their real issues are
not the obvious ones. And once the issues are resolved, these homeowners
find themselves far more comfortable and with significantly lower
utility bills.

Air Sealing and Insulation

The most common findings of an energy assessment, are related to air sealing and insulation. Working together, air sealing and insulation provide an effective barrier between your living space and the air outdoors.

Air SealingSealing
all the gaps, cracks and leaks in your home is a good place to start
increasing energy efficiency. Air sealing not only stops your warm air
from leaving the house, it also keeps cold air from entering, bringing
with it moisture and contaminants that can reduce the efficiency of your
insulation, encourage mold growth and reduce your indoor air quality.

InsulationOnce
your home is properly air sealed, new insulation forms a barrier to
capture your conditioned air within your living space, creating an
effective thermal envelope that reduces the workload on your furnace,
increases your comfort and lowers your heating costs. Not only that, but
insulation helps reduce the load on your air conditioning, too, for
lower utility bills all year long.

HVAC Service Plans

Your
energy audit may point to an inefficient furnace. It may be that your
unit needs only a tune-up. An annual furnace tune-up is essential to
keeping your system running at peak performance. Regular maintenance
also ensures your safety, as technicians measure gas leaks and check for
carbon monoxide emissions. Yearly, thorough inspection allows for minor
adjustments and repairs that can prevent breakdowns and costly
emergency calls.

If your furnace is 10 or more years
old, it may be time to upgrade to a newer, more efficient furnace that
runs less often and uses less fuel when it does. Before you upgrade, our
energy experts can help you determine the best size furnace for your
home. You may be surprised to know that bigger is not always better when
it comes to furnaces.

Whether you need furnace repair or furnace replacement, HVAC system maintenance is essential to its smooth, safe operation and longevity. An efficient, properly ventilated furnace will improve your indoor air quality, increase the comfort of your home and decrease your heating and cooling bills throughout the year.
