The onset of the winter season leads to over-reliance on various heating mechanisms so as to keep indoors warm. Reduced efficiency can lead to increased energy bills and affect functionality. You need to hire the right Commack NY heating and air conditioning services to inspect your systems regularly. Below are some tips to help you prepare for seasonal changes.

Consider having an audit of all your air conditioning systems. This should be done by an experienced technician who can identify areas where you home is loosing heat and how they can be fixed. The main goal of the inspection is to achieve energy efficiency through proper implementation of heating solutions.

Look out for leaks in all air ducts. Leaks are potential causes of decreased efficiency and a rise in your utility bills. Call a technician to inspect identified leaks. Temporary solutions like the use of protective tape to seal the openings can be used. However, proper repairs should be done to fix the problem permanently.

Check your windows and doors for gaps in the frames and drafts. Escaping heat will put more work on your air conditioning systems. You should also have a close look at the seals and joints to determine if there is any damage or deterioration that could be causing warm air to move out of the room. Make sure that gaps identified are properly sealed.

To reduce energy costs, consider lowering the degrees on your thermostat. This can be done only a few hours a day when you are not around or when you are asleep. To make your work easier, buy a programmable thermostat that can help you plan automated heating schedules in your home.

Use multiple heating sources if you can. If you have a large home or rooms that you don't use often, consider zoning control. Zoning will help you decide which rooms to heat. Space heaters, electric blankets and wood stoves can be used. Taking these simple steps ensures that you are well prepared for the cold season.
