Energy-Saving Features in Your Heating System
If you don’t like spending a lot of money on your heating system… Consider an upgrade! Modern technology and the latest heaters on the market in Tennessee will allow you to save money and enjoy energy-efficient heating.
True Blue Heating and Cooling is here to explain all the energy-saving features in your heating system. Keep reading to learn about the small but major changes you can make.
High Energy Efficiency Ratings
The next time you upgrade your furnace, choose a system with a high SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) or AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating for the best results in Tennessee’s climate. SEER and AFUE ratings indicate that the system is highly efficient and uses as little energy as possible to heat your home.
The higher the number, the better, though great efficiency correlates with higher prices.
Technology Integration
In this technologically advanced world, we now have many options to improve home heating efficiency with our existing units. Consider the following devices that you can control from apps on your devices:
- Home automation: Home automation systems provide the ultimate HVAC energy savings. You can set your home to varying temperatures throughout the day to cut costs and stay comfortable.
- Smart vents: Smart vents open and close as needed to improve airflow and temperature settings.
- Smart thermostats: With a Wi-Fi-connected thermostat, you can change your home’s temperature from almost anywhere. This ability allows you to adjust the temperature as needed to save money while you’re gone.
Good Insulation
Insulation prevents air from escaping your home. The longer warm air stays in your home, the less often your heating system will have to turn on, allowing you to reduce energy consumption and save money.
HEPA Filters
HEPA air filters trap mold, pathogens, dust, and other contaminants and prevent them from entering your home. Since their focus is on improving indoor air quality, you may not realize that they are also one of the energy-saving features in your heating system.
Clean air does make a difference if your system recirculates air in the home. The fewer germs that are in there, the easier it will pass through the furnace, and it won’t use as much energy to do so.
Air Purifiers
Installing air purifiers in your ductwork allows you to breathe even cleaner air. The purification system cleans recirculated air, ensuring clean air travels through the vents at all times. These purifiers can easily be installed in your existing ductwork, so you don’t have to invest in an entirely new system, making them a cost-effective solution.
When seeking ways to save energy, don’t overlook clean air. Reusing clean air will reduce the need to change the filter as often.
