5 Things Every New Homeowner Should Know About Heating Systems
As a new homeowner, understanding your heating system is essential to keeping your home comfortable, efficient, and safe. Here are five key insights to get you started:
1. Schedule Regular Maintenance
Your heating system is like any other machine—it needs care to perform its best. Annual maintenance by a professional not only prevents unexpected breakdowns but also keeps your system running efficiently, saving you money on energy bills.
2. Know What Type of System You Have
Furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps all operate differently and have unique maintenance needs. Familiarize yourself with your system to ensure proper care and understand how it impacts your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
3. Replace Air Filters Frequently
Dirty air filters can clog your system, reduce airflow, and strain the equipment, leading to higher energy bills and potential repairs. Make a habit of replacing filters every 1-3 months.
4. Upgrade to Energy Efficiency
Older heating systems may not perform efficiently. Investing in upgrades, such as a mini-split heat pump, can reduce utility costs while providing consistent warmth for your home. Energy-efficient systems often come with incentives or rebates, making them a smart long-term investment.
5. Be Prepared for Emergencies
