Heating and Cooling Best Practices

Winter can easily be one of the most challenging seasons to deal with. Sub freezing temperatures, icy roads, and blowing snow are just a few examples of how the elements can make for a tough environment outside.

Your home's thermostat is used to regulate the temperature, but it can also affect indoor humidity levels. In both the summer and winter months, humidity plays a role in your comfort and HVAC performance.

Home heating systems are a necessity to keep your home warm for you and your family in the cold winter months. There are various types of home heating systems out there including boilers, furnaces, and heat pumps. There is a lot of confusion between these heating systems that we're going to address today so that you can have a better idea of which type of HVAC system is best for your home.

You have probably come across the term relative humidity. Experts recommend humidity ranging from 30% to 50% to maintain comfort, good health and preserve your home from damage from excess humidity or dryness.

It seems to happen every single winter. Once the temperature goes down, the electric bill always seems to go up. The HVAC system is used more, increasing the cost.

Even though the temperatures are still mild, it'll soon be time to think about turning on the heat. Turning on your heat and feeling a blast of cold air can be caused by a variety of issues.
