Heating accounts for a significant chunk of homeowners’ expenses, and that does not include calls to the AC service in Orlando when something breaks. Fortunately, there are several methods you can use to heat your home efficiently and save on energy costs. Keep reading to take a look at a few tips for efficient home heating.

Programmable Thermostat

A common problem that leads to higher energy bills is waste. This problem can be managed in a number of ways. You can use a programmable thermostat to enjoy total control over the way your home is heated. Instead of leaving the heat on all day, you can program your thermostat to turn on 15 minutes before you arrive home from work so that you can walk into a warm home without wasting any energy. Certain thermostats also allow you to use the Internet or mobile applications to control your heating so that you can make decisions on the go.

Insulation

In order to avoid overworking your appliances, help them out by insulating your home. Air conditioners and heaters alike may benefit from insulated homes that adequately separate inside air from the outside air. Since heat rises, this insulation is especially important in your attic and ceilings. You can also seal any cracks or gaps that you notice in windows, doorways, or pet doors. This may be done using weather stripping, foam sealant, or even household fabrics. To locate unseen drafts, close all your doors and windows on a windy day. Then, walk around the vicinity of your doors and windows with a candle. If you notice the flame flickering when you stand in a certain area, you have found the location of a draft.

Maintenance

The best way to heat your home efficiently is to make sure that your heating appliances are in optimal working order. It is crucial that you maintain your furnace and any other heating units. Have an HVAC inspection and repair service check your home on a yearly basis to make sure that your appliances are functioning properly. The better you are at maintaining your appliances, the longer they will reward you with efficiency.
