Schedule Regular Maintenance
Schedule annual inspections with our professional technicians at Scout Plumbing, Heating & Air. During these appointments, we will clean, test, and adjust your system, identifying any potential issues before they become significant problems.
Change Filters Regularly
Dirty filters can hinder airflow, forcing your heating system to work harder than necessary. We recommend checking your filters monthly and replacing them at least every three months. If you use your heating system frequently, consider changing the filters more often. Our team can guide you in selecting the right filter and ensure it’s installed correctly.
Seal Ductwork and Insulate
Unsealed ducts can lead to significant heat loss and increased energy bills. Conduct a thorough inspection of your ductwork and seal any leaks using mastic or aluminum tape. Additionally, proper insulation in your home can prevent heat escape. Our experts at Scout Plumbing, Heating & Air can assess your insulation needs and make recommendations to keep your home warm and efficient.
Use a Programmable Thermostat
Investing in a programmable thermostat allows you to customize heating schedules based on your needs. This not only keeps your home comfortable but also reduces energy consumption. Our team is skilled in installing and configuring programmable thermostats, helping you maximize efficiency while minimizing wear and tear on your heating system.
