Actionable heating and cooling services advice you can use today. Save money, prevent problems, and know when to call a professional.
A dirty filter forces your system to work harder, increasing energy bills and shortening equipment life.
Furniture, rugs, and curtains covering vents create pressure imbalances that reduce comfort and strain the system.
Constantly adjusting the thermostat wastes energy. Use a programmable or smart thermostat to automate temperature changes.
A fall furnace tune-up and spring AC tune-up prevent breakdowns when you need the system most.
Vegetation, leaves, and debris restrict airflow. Keep the area around your outdoor unit clear year-round.
Counter-clockwise in summer pushes air down. Clockwise in winter at low speed circulates warm air. This can save 10% on heating and cooling.
Duct tape (ironically) fails on ducts. Mastic sealant or metal tape creates permanent seals that prevent air leakage.
Closing vents increases pressure in the duct system, which can cause leaks and reduce overall system efficiency.
A cracked heat exchanger can leak odorless, deadly CO gas. Detectors are inexpensive life-saving devices.
Erie's winter air drops to 15-20% humidity indoors. A humidifier protects your health, furniture, and hardwood floors.
Air leaks around windows and doors make your furnace work harder. Weatherstripping and caulk are inexpensive fixes.
Record the model number and installation date. Most furnaces last 15-20 years. Plan replacement before emergency failure.
Dropping the temperature 7-10 degrees while sleeping or away saves up to 10% on heating bills annually.
