As the chill of winter approaches, so does the concern over rising heating costs. Ensuring your heater is running efficiently can significantly cut down on these expenses and provide a warm, cozy home throughout the colder months. A client, Nancy Y., had such an experience when she decided on a tankless hot water heater installation by Parobek Plumbing & Air Conditioning. She shared, “Terry and Cody were efficient, respectful, and responsive during our new tankless hot water heater install. They were thorough in showing us how it works before they left. Would recommend them without hesitation”[0].
Understanding Heater Efficiency
Efficiency in a heating system refers to how well it converts energy into heat. High-efficiency heaters use less energy to produce the same amount of heat as older, less-efficient models. This not only cuts down on utility bills but also reduces your carbon footprint. According to various studies, upgrading to a high-efficiency furnace can save you 20-30% on heating costs annually, though actual savings depend on your local climate and utility prices.
Routine Maintenance and Professional Servicing
One of the most crucial steps to maintaining heater efficiency is routine maintenance. Regular checks can prevent small issues from turning into costly repairs. Barbara M., another satisfied customer of Parobek Plumbing, appreciated how the technician, Jeff, took the time to explain the systems in a comprehensible manner, without any pressure to pay immediately for certain recommendations[2]. Such thorough professional service can ensure your heating system operates at peak performance.
Best Practices for Improving Efficiency
- Regular Filter Changes: Dirty filters restrict airflow, making your heater work harder and less efficiently. Change or clean filters monthly during peak use seasons to keep your system running smoothly.
- Seal Leaks: Inspect ducts and windows for leaks that could be letting warm air escape. Sealing these can improve system efficiency by 20% or more.
- Programmable Thermostats: Installing a programmable thermostat can optimize heating schedules based on your routine, ensuring the heater is not running when it’s not needed.
- Zone Heating: With larger homes, using zone heating can save significant energy by only heating areas in use.
- Professional Audits: Have a professional energy audit done. This can highlight inefficiencies and potential improvements that can be made to save on costs.
Benefits of Upgrading Heating Systems
Karla J., who chose to update her water heater with Parobek’s technicians, Terry and Sam, remarked on their professionalism and timely service even when faced with delivery delays. “Given the age of the water heater and the fact it had been sitting full of water for seven months while I was displaced due to a fire, I decided to replace the water heater. Terry and Sam arrived earlier than scheduled and were very professional and helpful”[3]. This highlights how upgrading can not only improve efficiency but also solve underlying issues from older systems.
