Environmentally Conscious Heating Tips

Winter Heating TipsPlanetGreen.com is one of the best sources nationally pertaining to energy conservation and sustainable living. The website recently launched 10 top home heating tips as the country continues its battle with Old Man Winter.

Among the tips, proper insulation and ventilation proved to be a major topic of discussion. As the temperature drops, it’s more and more important to have good insulation. PlanetGreen.com speaks of draftpooling, which focuses on sealing the leaks around your windows and doors to keep the cool draft outdoors. Insulation strips, door sweeps and silicone caulk tubes should help in keeping the cold weather out and the heat in.

With draftpooling come proper ventilation techniques. The last thing you want is a comfortable facility that lacks good ventilation. Condensation can grow in places like this, which can cause mold and mildew. That can lead to health issues in extreme situations. PlanetGreen.com suggests cross-ventilation (opening a window or two for several minutes in a day) to combat homes that aren’t as ventilated.

In “going green” with fighting the winter, it is suggested to purchase radiant barriers. These energy-efficient items can cut heat loss significantly while keeping you warm. Also suggested are exterior storm windows, which can increase the temperature of an inside window by as much as 30 degrees.

However you decide to battle the cold with environmentally sound tactics, let our Lewisville TX heating experts answer your questions and assist you with winterizing your home. Call our Lewisville HVAC company today, or contact us online.

Heat Pumps Can Combat Winter Temperatures

Heat PumpAs the temperatures resemble winter with each day passing, keeping warm in your home becomes more and more of a priority. Our Lewisville heating experts suggest purchasing a quality heat pump to keep your household comfortable throughout the remaining winter days.

A heat pump, per dictionary definition, is a device that can warm or cool a residential or commercial property by “transferring heat from a relatively low-temperature reservoir to one at a higher temperature.” During the winter season, a heat pump will extract warm air from outside and move it into the home or office, creating a . Some say heat pumps simply are air systems with transposing capabilities.

Heat pumps are recommended because they provide an economical, energy-efficient alternative to property owners who want a relaxed home or office environment. Combining the use of a heat pump with proper air duct insulation will assist in keeping the heating and cooling bills to a minimum.

There are plenty of heat pumps to choose, but our Lewisville heating company suggests that you choose one that has an energy efficiency guarantee. Our expert Lewisville heating and cooling technicians specialize in all HVAC services, including heat pump installation and maintenance. Feel free to call us today, or contact us online for more details.

Insulation for Winter Weather

November 19th, 2010 Comments off

As the days and nights bring a chill to the air this winter, you want to make sure your home is readily protected against the elements. Part of this regular maintenance is to assure that your insulation is appropriate to serve its purpose. Why use insulation?

Think about the expense of your energy bills – electricity, oil, and gas – and what you spend monthly on these services. In the winter, the main use for these products is to heat your home. If your thermal insulation is inadequate, you could be spending far more money than necessary to heat your home – and to cool it in the summer. Insulation helps to maintain a more uniform temperature throughout your home and to hold in heat in the winter and cool air in the summer. This keeps the inclement weather from adversely affecting the environment within your home, your shelter from the cold weather outdoors.

Heat flows naturally from a warmer to a cooler space, which means that your indoor heat begins to seep toward the exterior of the house in the winter, where the cold winds blow. Step out into your unheated garage and notice the warmth closest to the door. By installing insulation in your home, you are blocking the release of the heat into the atmosphere and being lost.

Without sufficient insulation, your heating system will be working overtime to keep your home environment toasty and warm. You may want to have your insulation checked before the real winter chill overtakes the last of autumn, just to assure you are in a good position to make it through the freezing weather. You’ll want to contact a heating and air professional in Lewisville Texas for an inspection and recommendation. And if you do need to supplement existing insulation, Southern Comfort Mechanical A/C & Heating specialists can offer you great deals on insulation services. Don’t overwork your heater; save money and heat with proper insulation.
