How to Give Your Heater That Extra Added Boost

You don’t have to do anything crazy when it comes to boosting the heating efficiency in your home. You can give your heater the extra added boost that you’re looking for with these simple tips:

Make Sure the Heater Has the Best Thermostat Available

If you can’t remember the last time you really gave your thermostat a second thought, then it’s probably time that you upgrade your system. Your thermostat is just like any other appliance in your home—there are constant advances in the technology offered surrounding this system. You want to make sure that you get the best service from your thermostat, so it’s a great idea to upgrade once in a while.

If you’ve had the same thermostat that you’ve currently had in your home for many years, then it’s time to consider getting a new unit. The best options you’ve got today are Wi-Fi and smart thermostats. We can make sure that you choose the best unit for your needs.

Lower the Thermostat Temperature

Are you looking to cut back on the energy costs in your home? The best thing that you can do for your home is to pick a lower thermostat setting. The best time to do this is while you’re sleeping. Layer on a few more blankets and drop the temperature on your thermostat by about 10°F. This can help you save 5%–10% on your energy bills with ease.

Check In on That Insulation

You can have the best heater in the world, but you’re still not going to feel warm unless you’re actually keeping the warm air in your home. The way you keep your conditioned air indoors where you want it is with the right insulation. Make sure that you check in on high-risk areas like attics, crawlspaces, around doors, and around windows. These issues are easily solved through efforts like caulking and weatherstripping.
