Heating FAQ
An integral part of your HVAC system, your heat keeps your Murfreesboro home warm and cozy on frigid winter nights. Below is a list of the questions we are asked most frequently about heating systems.
Q: How Does My Heat Work?
A: In the scheme of things, heating systems are pretty basic. It all starts with your furnace, your furnace creates combustion gas, that gas then moves through your heat exchanger. Your heat exchanger funnels the air from your house and warms it with the combustion gas. That warm air is then expelled from the heating system into your duct work and out into your home. Easy, peasy right?
Q: Why Installing and Maintaining a Heating System is Important:
A: To keep us warm! In the old days, forced air heat in a home was a luxury, thank Goodness we live in the 21st Century! A necessity for your home, your HVAC system keeps your family nice and toasty on those cold winter nights. Making sure your furnace is properly maintained is one way to make sure you don't wind up with a broken furnace. Regularly scheduled HVAC maintenance will help to keep your heating bill in check.
Q: What Size Heating System Do I need?
A: It is extremely important to take into consideration the square footage of your home when purchasing a heating system for your home. Too large, and the cost to heat your home will increase because the system will cycle off and on constantly which will increase your heating bill. Too small, and you won't be able to keep your toes from freezing off! The system won't be able to keep the kids warm. It will struggle and strain to provide you with enough warm air to heat your home. Our Heat & Air Conditioning company can assist you in determining what size is the right size furnace for your home.
Q: Is It Possible to Lower My Heating Bill?
A: No! You should just give up now! Just kidding! Yes! Of course! Weather stripping is your friend! Use it to seal up any cracks around your windows and doors. Make sure you keep your doors closed just like your mom told you when you were little (and not paying the bills!) If you have a fireplace make sure to close the flue when you're not using the fireplace. Make some hot chocolate (or a Hot Toddy) and turn the thermostat down a degree or two. You may need to throw on an extra blanket, but your wallet will thank you!
Q: What is the Best Temperature to set My Thermostat at?
A: If it was up to my wife, she'd keep the thermostat at 85 year round. Me, on the other hand, I'd keep it at 65! It's definitely a personal preference. We recommend keeping the thermostat between 68 and 72, but if you are leaving the house for the day, push it down to 65 degrees. When you get back home push back up a few degrees. It won't take more than a few minutes to get it back up to a comfortable temperature if your system is running efficiently. If it's not running efficiently call us, and we'll get it taken care of for you.
Q: What Could Cause Damage to My Heating System?
A: Neglecting to change your air filters! A dirty filter will cause the system to struggle due to reduced air flow, which can lead to costly repairs. Some filters need to be changed every 90 days, while some only 30 days. Set an alarm in your phone's calendar, or write it down on your calendar. This simple step can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars. The number two reason:Normal wear and tear without scheduled maintenance. Do yourself an enormous favor, and schedule maintenance on your HVAC system, trust us, you'll be glad you did! Call us for all of your heating and air conditioning needs.
