After having your heating system expertly repaired by J. Halligan & Sons Heating & Air Conditioning, ensuring it runs efficiently is the next step. Efficient operation not only keeps your home comfortably warm but also helps in reducing energy costs. Here are some efficiency tips to get the most out of your heater post-repairs.

Regular Maintenance Checks

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your heating system running efficiently. Schedule annual inspections with professionals to catch and fix any issues before they lead to bigger problems.

Upgrade Your Thermostat

Consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat. These devices can automatically adjust the temperature based on your schedule, reducing energy usage without sacrificing comfort.

Seal Leaks and Improve Insulation

Check for leaks around windows, doors, and ductwork. Sealing these leaks and improving insulation can significantly reduce heat loss, making your heating system more efficient.

Clean and Replace Filters Regularly

A clogged filter restricts airflow, forcing your heater to work harder. Clean or replace the air filters every 1-3 months to maintain optimal airflow and efficiency.

Utilize Ceiling Fans

Switch your ceiling fans to run clockwise at a low speed during the winter. This helps in circulating warm air evenly throughout the room, reducing the load on your heating system.

Lower the Thermostat at Night

Lowering your thermostat by a few degrees at night or when you're not home can lead to significant energy savings without affecting your comfort levels.

Keep Vents Unobstructed

Ensure that furniture or curtains do not block heating vents. Proper airflow is crucial for efficient heating and maintaining a comfortable home environment.
