Getting the Most from Your Heat Pump

With energy prices constantly on the rise, homeowners everywhere are looking for every opportunity to reduce their energy consumption. If you have a heat pump in your home in Raleigh, then you are likely enjoying comfortable heating and cooling all year long. But if you’ve started to notice that your utility bill is increasing, you probably are interested to know why and how to reduce it. At Raleigh Heating & Air, we want our customers to be comfortable in their homes and to get good efficient heating and cooling from their heat pumps. Here are some of the ways that you can get the most out of your heat pump in Raleigh.

Regular Heat Pump Maintenance in Raleigh

Perhaps one of the best ways to get the most out of your heat pump is to get it regularly maintained by a professional contractor in Raleigh. There are huge benefits for homeowners who have their heat pumps regularly tuned up. During regular maintenance visits your heat pump technician will thoroughly inspect and clean every aspect of your system. This will allow them to find any small issues and repair them before they cause your system to start performing poorly. This can potentially increase the efficiency of your system. It might also be able to extend the life of your heat pump. Small problems are often the cause of homeowners needing heat pump replacement.

Thermostat Upgrades

Another great way to potentially improve the performance of your heat pump is to upgrade your thermostats. The thermostats in your home control when your heat pump turns on and for how long. If you were to upgrade to a web enabled thermostat you may be able to gain more control over your home’s energy consumption. Web enabled thermostats connect to your home’s internet connection. You can access them from anywhere in the world using a computer or your smartphone. You can control when they turn on and when they turn off. They can also send you email alerts when your home starts to use too much energy.

Blower Door Testing

Blower door testing is a great way to find out exactly how efficient your home is. During these types of tests, technicians will seal off your home and attach a blower to your front door. This will create pressure in your home and allow us to find out exactly where any leaks are.
