How To Improve The Efficiency Of Your Heating System

Whether you’ve had a new heating system installed recently, or you have an older heating system you simply want to prolong the life of, there are plenty of precautions and steps that you can take to improve the efficiency of your heating system.

Use better-quality equipment

If your system is old or worn, investing in a new system, or parts could be the best option to improve performance.

Trust Lindsey Group to analyse your system – our team of heating specialists are more than happy to offer our advice on how to improve your heating system’s overall performance.

Get regular maintenance

It’s easy to forget about your heating and cooling systems, and not have them regularly maintained – this is an issue that happens all too often! Neglecting your heating system can result in potential issues developing, and in the worst-case scenario, your heating system could be unrepairable if it breaks down.

The longer an issue goes undetected, the more money you could end up spending in the long run on energy, and big repair bills.

If you haven’t had maintenance in a while, get in touch with us and schedule a monthly or yearly heating maintenance today.

Prepare your property

Even when taking all other precautions into consideration, your heating system could still be working harder than necessary. The following are arguably the most important factors to keep in mind when improving your heating efficiency.

Seal any air leaks

There’s plenty of places for hot air to escape in the average room. Gaps in windows, doors and air vents could be causing your heating system to work harder than it has to, costing you money!

Insulate your rooms

Sealing any air leaks isn’t the only way your property could be losing heat. If your property isn’t designed with good insulation in mind (often factories, older homes, warehouses), you may be spending a lot more than needed on your heating!
Your walls might have poor insulation, or your windows might be only single glazed, allowing plenty of precious heat to escape.

Close your curtains and blinds at night

Your windows will likely always see the most heat escaping from any room in your property. By shutting your curtains and blinds, especially at nighttime, you can prevent any excess heat from escaping.

Use a timed thermostat

If your heating system includes a digital thermostat, make sure you take advantage of it! By setting a schedule and enabling automatic controls to ensure a healthy temperature is maintained, only when you need it, your system will have a longer lifespan.
