Heating and Air Efficiency Check-List

Heating and Air Efficiency Check-List

1. Do a home energy assessment

duct-gap-rowland-airIt will tell you how efficient your heating and cooling systems are and where your home is wasting energy — say, through air leaks or under-insulated attics and ducts. Your utility company may offer free or low-cost energy assessments, or it may recommend a local company or organization to do them. Check with your state or local government energy or weatherization office for recommendations, or visit energysavers.gov for more resources.

2. Seal air leaks and insulate

Seal air leaks around windows, doors, and places where pipes and wires come through walls. Check existing caulking and weather stripping for gaps or cracks.

3. Look into special energy efficiency offers

Ask your local utility or system salesperson about cash rebates, low-interest loans, tax breaks, or other incentives for buying energy-efficient products, and how you can qualify. You can learn about tax credits and incentives at energy.gov/savings.

4. Check ducts for holes and gaps

Sections may have separated and air may be leaking
You can seal some leaks yourself with mastic sealant or metal tape (don’t use duct tape). Hiring a professional to repair leaky ducts can be a good investment.Bring your insulation up to DOE-recommended levels where your energy assessws it’s needed.
If your home has very old or inefficient windows, think about replacing them.
Lowering your thermostat in winter and bumping it up in summer before you go to bed or head out for the day, or getting a programmable thermostat to do it automaticallair-flow-rowland-airy.
Checking filters for forced-air furnaces, heat pumps, or air conditioners as recommended to see if they need to be cleaned or replaced, and checking that fireplace dampers are closed when you don’t have a fire going.
Considering a budget-billing program, if your utility or oil company offers it. While you won’t actually pay less, a budget-billing plan spreads your costs over the whole year, protecting your budget from seasonal spikes. If you’re on a fixed income or have trouble paying your utility bills, contact your utility company. There may be energy assistance plans.
If you use heating oil, consider shopping around to make sure you’re getting a good price. Research a company and its service before you sign a contract. If you live where you can choose your natural gas provider, shop for a good price on gas.

Do I Need Repair?

How do I know if my heating or cooling unit is in need of repair?

 

Water or Leaks

If you think, “a little water seepage can’t be that bad,” think again! If water or refrigerant is coming out of your air conditioner, a serious problem may be in motion. Similarly, if you notice frost or ice forming on your A/C coils on those cold winter nights in Santa Clarita, don’t think wiping it away will solve the problem.water-leak-rowland-air

Bad Smells

If you detect bad smells and odors from your air conditioner on a regular basis, then it may be time for air conditioning service. The most common reasons we find is a dirty air filter, dead animal, wiring issue, and mold or mildew growing on the condenser coil.

Warm Air

Some people forget that Santa Clarita is a desert and how important it can be to the health of ourselves and loved ones to stay out of extreme heat. It goes without saying that if you feel only warm air from your air conditioner you need to schedule an air conditioning service visit to get cool air back again.

Unusual Noises

When your air conditioner is turned on but still makes unusual noises like screeches, squeals, hisses, whistles, clicks, clunks or something out of the ordinary, turn off your conditioner and call us for an air conditioning service visit because a part is broken or about to break.

Temperature Changes

Nothing is more frustrating when set your air conditioner thermostat to cool your rooms at the same temperature only to find that it changes when you walk from one room to the next. An air conditioning service visit can diagnose the source of this warning sign.
