Many people do not realize the amount of money they could save if they were keener about the size and efficiency of the HVAC systems that they install. When you have an oversized system, its performance worsens and you are forced to pay more in electric bills. Here are some tips that can help you improve your HVAC in Carlsbad and save some money.
Insulation
When your house is well insulated, there is better regulation of the amount of air that flows into the house in the summer and the amount of heat that leaves the house in the winter. If the house doesn’t have any in-wall insulation, you could benefit from some blown-in wall insulation. As a result, the temperatures will range within the acceptable levels, and your HVAC will not have to burn too much fuel trying to regulate the temperature.
Upgrading and replacing windows
Windows are another main source of heat loss from the house especially in the winter. If your house has older window models, you should consider replacing them with newer and better models. You may choose to go for weather stripping or storm windows. In fact, window replacement will cut the heating bills by up to 24 percent.
Replacing old furnaces
If you have a furnace that was installed in the 90’s, chances are that it wastes at least 35 percent of the fuel it uses up. Besides, with age, furnaces need replacement. Getting a newer furnace will cut down the amount of money that you have to pay as energy bills. Also, it will help you eliminate cold spots in the house keep the house warm at all times and lower the risk of furnace fires destroying your property.
Make sure that the air ducts are well sized and sealed
Leaky ductwork and poor flow of air result in hot, stuffy and very uncomfortable rooms regardless of the thermostat setting. Sealing the ducts helps stop the leakage and ensure that clean air circulates in the house at all times.
