(Transportation-News.com, September 05, 2012 ) Palatine, Illinois -- It’s hard to believe, but the cool months of autumn are upon us throughout the United States. As the days of summer come to a close, it’s time for homeowners to begin preparing their homes for winter, and this is particularly true of their heating and air systems.
Buck’s Furnace and Air, servicing clients in the suburbs of Chicago, has put together several tips that will help homeowners ensure they are getting the most efficiency from their heating and cooling system, to save them money in the future.
The first tip is the set your thermostat properly. According to the experts at Buck’s, setting your thermostat at the most efficient temperature is one of the best ways to save your family money on your energy bill. During the winter months, Buck’s advises setting your thermostat on the lowest temperature at which you and your family can feel comfortable, which should typically be somewhere around 68 degrees during the winter months. Research has shown that when heating your home during the winter months, operating costs can rise anywhere from 3% to 8% for every degree your thermostat is raised.
The second tip for getting your home ready for the cooler months of fall and winter is to keep your air filter clean. According to Buck’s expert HVAC technicians, keeping the air filter cleaned regularly is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to ensure your system continues to run efficiently. If you’re unsure of where your filters are located, or how to change them, a Buck’s technician can assist you in doing so.
Buck’s next tip for an efficient operating system in the fall and winter months is to have your heating system tuned up annually. In many places throughout the country, energy expenses have risen 60% or more, and homeowners can minimize this extra expense by having Buck’s Furnace and Air Perform an annual service on your heating system, as cooler weather approaches. Research has shown that homeowners who have regular service performed on their system will save $30 or more on their monthly energy bill, and lack of regular maintenance is also the main reason many heating and cooling systems experience problems or breakdowns. During the summer months, it’s also important to have your air conditioning system serviced regularly. The best way to avoid breakdowns is with Bucks Legendary Service Agreements. For only $16.99 per month customers are able toreceive a furnace tune-up each fall or winter, an AC tune up each spring or summer and one repair service call every 12 months. The plan also offers guaranteed same day repair service, text reminders for filter changes and much more.
During the cooler months of fall and winter, Buck’s also recommends homeowners ensure their homes are properly weatherized. Proper insulation and weatherization products can save a homeowner money, and they can reduce their heating needs by up to 30%, just by investing in proper weatherization materials. The easiest, most economical option for weatherization is to caulk and add weatherstripping to all seams, cracks and openings from your home to the outdoors.
