While investing in a new high-efficiency furnace is definitely a great way in which to enjoy better heating efficiency, it is not the only way. A new furnace is a major investment for most homeowners, and it may not be one that you can afford at any given moment. That\u2019s why we have some tips to help you get a more efficient performance from the furnace that you already have in place!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ways to Boost Furnace Efficiency (Without a New Furnace!)<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Check and Replace Your Filters<\/b>: It\u2019s inevitable. Over time, your furnace\u2019s air filters will collect dust and other particles. This reduces airflow, which ultimately leads to lower efficiency. When airflow is restricted, your furnace must work harder to circulate warm air throughout your home. Changing your air filters every 1-3 months as needed is an effective way to maintain peak efficiency.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Make Sure Your Air Ducts Are Sealed<\/b>: Did you know that 20% of warm air can escape through faulty air ducts? That is a lot of warm air! This is another issue that will cause your furnace to work harder, thus decreasing efficiency. Don\u2019t grab a roll of duct tape for a DIY project, though. Professional duct sealing is the only way to go if you want to boost efficiency and effectively seal your ducts.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Add a Programmable Thermostat<\/b>: Setting the right temperature is important. According to the Department of Energy, keeping your thermostat at 68 degrees can significantly lower your heating costs \u2013 by up to 10%! \u00a0With a programmable thermostat, you can create a heating schedule based around your own personal schedule. This will result in even more savings! Plus, the Earth will thank you for going green! <\/span><\/li>\n
