Heaters of all sorts can be found throughout many industries, and electric heaters are no exception. They can be found in factories, homes, and other places where heat is desired. Electric heaters come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and each has its own benefits and drawbacks.
The key to saving money on your heating and cooling system is maintaining it! By investing in new equipment that’s energy efficient, you can cut down on environmental emissions, while also cutting costs by up to about 30%.
Maintaining a whole home HVAC will keep the outside air flowing freely through every room of the house too – making sure everyone has what they need without getting hot or cold spots wherever there are vulnerable surfaces like windowsills.
Heating Tips
- Set your programmable thermostat as low as is comfortable in the winter and lower the set-point when you’re sleeping or away from home.
- Clean or replace filters on furnaces once a month or as recommended.
- Eliminate trapped air from hot-water radiators once or twice a season; if unsure about how to perform this task, contact a professional.
- During winter, keep the draperies and shades on your south-facing windows open during the day to allow the sunlight to enter your home and closed at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows.
- Select energy-efficient products when you buy new heating equipment. Your contractor should be able to give you energy fact sheets for different types, models, and designs to help you compare energy usage.
