Tips for Optimizing Home Heating Systems
Optimizing the central heating system helps keep the house at a comfortable temperature on cold nights and helps the homeowner keep utility bills low.
Energy-efficient heating solutions cut back on carbon emissions and improve the home's eco-friendliness. Homeowners should consider trying out the following three tips for optimizing home heating before the big date. Optimizing the heating system this year can help to save money on energy bills to go towards next year's Valentine's Day.
Seal Up Drafts Around the Windows
The drafts around the doors and windows can be sealed using weatherstripping techniques and draft blockers. Homeowners can pick up the supplies to seal updrafts from their local hardware store.
Add thick curtains to optimize thin windows and doors to keep the heat in. Homeowners can also use plastic wrap designed for wrapping windows to cover the glass to prevent drafts. Sealing updrafts helps prevent cold spots and keeps the heat from working on overdrive, racking up the heating bill.
Energy Star Certified Windows 
Not all windows are made out of the same type of glass or density of glass. The shape, size, and materials of the windows contribute to how energy efficient they are at holding in heat in the winter and cool air in the summer.
ENERGY STAR-certified windows are certified to be more energy-efficient than regular windows. Having new, energy-efficient windows installed can help to keep the home warmer in the winter.
Hire an Experienced and Licensed Heating Contractor
To optimize the heating system, homeowners should ensure that the contractor installing, repairing, and servicing the heating system knows what they are doing. An expert HVAC contractor from a reputable heating company will go above and beyond to ensure that all of the heating system parts are working smoothly for maximum efficiency.
Before hiring an HVAC contractor, ensure that the heating company and the contractor are properly licensed and insured. Working on heating systems requires years of training to obtain certification. Homeowners should skip the DIY projects if they want to get the best performance out of their HVAC unit. Improper installation can lead to inefficient performance and void the manufacturer warranty on the unit's hardware.
