Improving Your Home’s Heating Efficiency
A national study of over 1,000 homes revealed that many homeowners miss out on energy efficiency due to poor HVAC installation and insufficient maintenance. After these issues were addressed, efficiency improved by an incredible 36%! Don’t leave energy savings on the table—take action today.
5 Proven Ways to Boost Heating Efficiency
1) Seal Your Ductwork
Even a top-of-the-line HVAC system can lose efficiency if the ductwork isn’t sealed. Leaks can reduce heating or cooling capacity by over 50%. Addressing leaks ensures heated air reaches your rooms instead of being wasted.
2) Renovate Your Duct System
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average duct system operates at just 60% efficiency. Poorly designed or improperly installed ductwork restricts airflow and compromises your system’s performance. If you suspect issues with your duct system, call Hillside Heating & Cooling at 302-738-4144 (DE & PA) or 410-398-2146 (MD) for professional ductwork renovation.
3) Schedule Regular Maintenance
Save up to 10% annually by maintaining your heating system. Hillside’s 30-point Furnace Tune-Up is designed to prevent problems, boost efficiency, and ensure optimal performance.
4) Upgrade Insulation
Insulation is critical for maintaining a steady indoor temperature. According to EnergyStar.gov, adding insulation beyond state code requirements can significantly reduce energy use. Ensure insulation is properly installed without gaps or compression, especially around pipes and wiring.
5) Install Energy-Efficient Windows
Windows account for up to 50% of a home’s heat loss. Replacing old windows with ENERGY STAR-rated models can cut energy costs by $125 to $465 annually, depending on your climate.
