Let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s almost silly to talk about heating\nsystems at all <\/em>when you live\nsomewhere like Florida. We\u2019re sure your friends or family in the Northwest and\nMidwest roll their eyes at you when you call 54\u00b0F \u201cchilly.\u201d But the fact of the\nmatter is, for us, that is <\/em>chilly!\nAnd it requires a fully functional and powerful heater to keep you comfortable,\nno matter how briefly you may need that heater, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, who wants to pay more than they actually need to for heating when you live somewhere that you barely use the system? Now that is what\u2019s silly! There are a number of simple ways you can boost your heating efficiency to use it more effectively and save money on at least one monthly utility bill. Read on to learn how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Use Your Ceiling Fans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You already do this all summer long, but did you know that\nit can benefit you when temperatures are on the cooler side, too? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason ceiling fans are so effective at keeping you cool\nin the summer is because they help better distribute the air coming from your\nair conditioner. In fact, it can make you feel\n<\/em>5\u00b0 cooler or more. Therefore you can turn the thermostat of your AC up and\ngive the system a break in run time to save energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This same concept applies to your heating system! All you have to do is flip a switch that\u2019s near the center of your fan, which will reverse the direction of the fan blades and better distribute the air coming from your heater. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update Your Insulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait, why do I need insulation? It\u2019s always hot here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a common misconception\u2014that insulation is only\nneeded to keep homes warm in the wintertime. But the thing about insulation is\nthat it\u2019s in place to prevent heat transfer,\n<\/em>whether it\u2019s from the outside in, or inside out. This means that making\nsure you have proper insulation will benefit you in the cooler weeks and <\/em>during our long, oppressive summers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insulation can become damaged from moisture due to high\nhumidity, rodent infestations, or even improper installation to begin with.\nReach out to our team today to learn about your insulation options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This one is often skipped by Florida homeowners, who do not\nthink that heater maintenance is worth the investment, since their heater is\ntypically benched for 11 months out of the year, if not more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing is, heating system maintenance is even more <\/em>vital the less your system is used.\nA dormant heater, especially a gas-powered system, could be accumulating damage\nor other problems that could threaten the health of the heater itself, as well\nas your home safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Routine maintenance allows our technicians to thoroughly\ninspect, clean, and adjust components that need it, all while alerting you to\npotential repair needs before they grow into big HVAC emergencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
