My fingers were numb from the cold, and I would have used a cup of steaming coffee before our first house repair of the morning… I was on our way to a duct cleaning, and not more than 2 people contact the heating corp for that repair compared to a oil furnace/heater tune-up or cleaning a washable filter, but most homeowners forget about the ductwork needed until there is a complication in the Heating and A/C duct that needs fixing.
- As an Heating and A/C repairman laboring for a local heating provider, I enjoyed it when a.house owner asked for energy-saving help tips because there is so much that homeowners can do to reduce the amount of energy consumed while I was in whole-house heating.
I have a gas oil furnace that I installed. Installing an intelligent temperature regulator was our first step to saving energy! Since every one of us have a zoned system, when every one of us turn on the gas fireplace, the control unit will adjust the temperature settings so that the boiler replacement runs less to heat the kitchen since there is already another heat source… When every one of us are out of the house, the control unit automatically adjusts the temperature settings to a much lower temperature, saving energy, but there was only a slight increase in the energy bill when our partner started laboring from home. The house I went to that morning belonged to an elderly couple. After finishing the job, they insisted that I stay for their late lunch, however I politely declined because it was not really professional. She, however, provided myself and others numerous cinnamon rolls to go. I picked up a coffee on our way back to the office, and I had our first meal of the morning.
