At Comfort Zone Heating & Air, we want everyone to be comfortable in their homes all winter long. Unfortunately, some homeowners are dissuaded from heating their homes to the degree they would like to due to high energy costs. While our team of expert Atlanta HVAC technicians may not be able to bring the prices of energy and fuels down, we can help you understand why your heating bill is so high. Only after you have found the problem can you find the solution. We can help.

If you are feeling down about a rise in your home heating costs, call Comfort Zone Heating & Air. We want you to be as comfortable as possible in your Atlanta home this heating season. We also want to help you do so without having to worry too much about the dent that your comfort is making in your budget.

There is really only one main cause of high heating costs other than the actual price of the fuel you use, and that cause is inefficiency. There are a lot of different causes of such inefficiency, and here are some of the most common.

The most frequent cause of inefficient heating is also one of the most obvious. If your home cannot contain the heat that you pay for sufficiently, then there is no way to make efficient use of that energy. Cracks and gaps in your home envelope, door and window frames are a major contributor to high heating costs. Weather stripping your doors and shrink wrapping your windows are great, affordable ways to boost energy.

You may also simply be heating your home in a less than ideal way. Do not drop the heat all the way down when you feel warm enough only to turn it up high again before long because you’ve gotten cold. Contrary to popular belief leaving your thermostat at one setting is not necessarily the most efficient way to heat your home. Be mindful of the weather and temperatures in your home, and make adjustments as needed without being too drastic.

Finally, schedule routine maintenance. When it comes to getting the most out of your home heating system there is simply no better step you can take. Only when all of the components of your heating system are operating properly can you hope to make the most efficient, effective use of energy.
