During the fall, Bloomington residents often find themselves blasting their air conditioning during the day and their toasty heaters at night. Because of this continuous cycle, your A/C and heater will need to be maintenanced regularly in order to keep it running as efficiently as possible. Due to high demand, Bloomington Heating has provided a brief guide for Minnesotans on how to keep their utility bills as low as possible.
How to Keep your Heater Working Efficiently at Night
Let’s face it, if you’ve lived in Minnesota, you’re aware of how frigid it can get at night. Because of sub-freezing temperatures, having a heater not working can completely ruin your winter. Below are some tips on how to keep your heating system running as smoothly as possible.
- Service your furnace: Though this might seem like a no-brainer, it’s easy for people with busy lives to forget to have their furnaces serviced on a regular basis. A furnace that isn’t working correctly can not only endanger your life, but can also cost you a lot of money. Because of this, make sure you have your system inspected and serviced regularly.
- Invest in a “smart” thermostat: It’s known that some “smart” technology is definitely better than others. A “smart” thermostat will save you a considerable amount of money. These thermostats are able to be fine-tuned to your exact needs, which means you don’t have to worry about forgetting to turn the thermostat to the right temperature.
Keeping Your A/C Working Properly During the Day
Having a working A/C during the day is something you need in Minnesota. A smart way to almost guarantee that when you go to turn on the thermostat that it’ll work it to get your HVAC maintenanced regularly. While this is one of the most important things you can do, below are a few other tips for keeping your A/C working smoothly year-round.
- Make sure your vents are open and clean: If you’re moving into a new home or apartment you might just assume that all of your vents are open and clean. However, it’s not uncommon for past tenants or residents to close certain vents or fail to clean them. As a result, you can be consistently trying to get more air, but be limited by the partially closed vents. This in turn can cause you to spend much more money than you need to.
- Keep your A/C at a constant setting: When you consistently fluctuate your A/C’s temperature, a lot of strain is put on your A/C system. This in turn causes your bill to increase. To prevent this, set your A/C at a decent temperature and keep it that way while you’re home.
