Heating System Efficiency

We know, it’s only just September, but the cold weather is approaching quickly here in Colorado.  Maintaining an efficient heating system is a sound strategy for conserving energy and cutting costs during the Fall and Winter. Here are some helpful tips on how to do this:

• Have your heating system professionally serviced by Bell Plumbing and Heating once a year.
• Have your chimney flue, space heaters, water heater and fireplace checked.
• Clean or replace your heating system filter every month during the heating season. A dirty or clogged filter forces your furnace and fan to work harder, which costs you more. You’ll be warmer for less money, and breathe easier, if you clean or replace your furnace filter often.
• Your furnace or boiler needs air to work properly (and efficiently). Make sure it is unobstructed.

Give Bell Plumbing and Heating a call with any questions or to schedule a heating-system check-up before you need to turn it on this Fall.
