Affordable Heating Service

Here are a few possible reasons for extra high heating bills:

• Issues with insulation – A lack of or damaged insulation in the attic, walls or around plumbing pipes and electrical outlets allow heat to escape. If the heating system runs constantly yet fails to live up to comfort expectations, you might need to install insulation. Proper insulation can lower heating/cooling costs by up to 40% annually.
• Leaky ducts – The ductwork is easy to overlook. However this essential system of pipes is responsible for transporting conditioned air. In the majority of homes, holes, cracks and leaks at the seams allow up to 30% of heat to escape. Get in touch with Aeromark Mechanical Inc for ductwork testing, repairs and maintenance.
• Older heating system – Although replacing a heating system is a big investment, a higher efficiency option saves money on heating bills every month throughout the winter. Top-of-the-line modern furnaces achieve up to 98% AFUE ratings.
• Neglected maintenance – To keep the heating system operating at peak efficiency, annual professional tune-ups are absolutely necessary. Let our highly trained technicians provide essential adjustment, cleaning and inspection to optimize system performance.
• Thermostat problems – You can save 10% per year on utility bills by adjusting the thermostat by 8 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit for an eight-hour period. Installing a smart thermostat caters to your schedule, automatically taking advantage of energy saving opportunities.
• Unsealed windows – Approximately 25% of heat loss can typically be blamed on windows. The draft from windows tells the thermostat to start up the heating system. Take the time to caulk and weatherstrip around windows and consider replacing older windows with Energy Star thermally efficient Low E glass.
