A heat pump offers you a convenient and reliable way to keep your home in Stuart, FL, comfortable. When you use it properly, it can also improve your home’s energy efficiency and save you money on your heating and cooling expenses. Follow these five tips to boost heat pump efficiency:
Hire a Professional to Install It
To ensure that it works efficiently, hire one of our service technicians to install it for you. Professional installation minimizes problems like water leaks or loose wiring. It also lowers the risk of your heat pump overheating and breaking down prematurely.
Repair Your Heat Pump Promptly
When your heat pump does experience issues like short cycling or weak airflow, repair it promptly. Quick professional repairs minimize the risk of it breaking down. Hire one of our service technicians to repair your heat pump if it starts making unusual noises, doesn’t cool properly or experiences other problems.
Change the Filter to Boost Heat Pump Efficiency
Change the filters in your heat pump regularly. Clean filters help it cool or heat air normally and keep the air inside your house safe. Change them every two to three months or more often if you have long-haired pets in your home.
Install and Use a Smart Thermostat
A smart thermostat helps you improve the efficiency of your home’s heat pump. You can set custom heating and cooling schedules for your home. You can also program the smart thermostat to shut itself off at certain times during the day to save you money on utility costs.
Use the Right Thermostat Setting
Set and keep the thermostat at a comfortable temperature for your home. Raising and lowering the thermostat drastically runs up your energy bills. It also puts stress and wear on your heat pump, increasing the risk of it breaking down prematurely.
