If you’re in Charlotte and you would like to bring down your energy bills this winter, it’s likely that you can. Maybe the solution is to have your furnace maintained on a regular basis. You could also explore heating installation. Whatever your situation, here are some ways to stay warm while saving money this winter.
Preventative Furnace Maintenance
Having preventative furnace maintenance done on a regular schedule allows you to budget and plan, and it saves big money over time. Routine maintenance such as changing filters, checking heat exchangers, and more extends the life of your system and minimizes the risk of an emergency situation in the cold of winter.
Furnace Installation
If your furnace is at least 15 years old and you’re hearing unusual knocking noises coming from it, the time to replace it has likely arrived. Another red flag is seeing a rise in your winter energy bills compared to previous years. While it’s tempting to try and nurse your dying heater through one more winter, having it replaced will most likely be less expensive in the long run instead of constantly spending money on repair after repair.
Weatherstripping
Adding weatherstrips to your windows and doors cuts down on the amount of air leaking in and out of your house, and this saves you money. It also keeps your home more comfortable.
Cleaning Refrigerator Coils
If the condenser coils on your refrigerator are dirty, then the unit is likely working twice as hard as it needs to. Cleaning them is easy to do and can lead to dramatic savings on your bills.
