Remodeling a Home

The furnace for your HVAC system could be outdated and inefficient. Therefore, you will want to consider upgrading your heating system to reduce your winter heating costs. There are a lot of options for more efficient furnaces. The following furnaces and HVAC upgrades are some of the best choices to reduce winter heating costs:

Modern Efficient Furnace Designs

There are several options for the furnace for forced-air heating systems. First, there are conventional furnaces, and then there are options like hydro-air heating. Some of the options you may want to consider for your heating upgrades include:

• High-efficiency electric furnaces
• Efficient natural gas furnaces
• Hydro-air systems with efficient boilers

These are options you will want to consider when you need to have a new furnace installed. If you want to have an efficient and versatile option, hydro-air systems are a good solution. Solar panels can also be a great solution to add renewable energy to the system.  

Designing Ductwork for More Efficient Heating

The ductwork is another important aspect of your household heating design. Today, there are many options to improve ducts to make heating more efficient. First, you will want to consider rigid ducts with a thermal insulation wrap to reduce heat loss. In addition, consider options like zoned HVAC with dampers that direct airflow to make the system more efficient. These are good for both heating and air conditioning. But, the energy savings with zoned HVAC designs will be the most noticeable with your heating system.

Additional HVAC Improvements for Efficiency

There may be other changes that you want to make to improve the efficiency of your heating. Some of these upgrades will benefit both the heating and cooling in your home. The following additional HVAC improvements are some of the options to consider for your project:

• Automated dampers for zoned heating
• Variable speed fans for more efficient HVAC
• Electrostatic filters for better airflow and cleaner air
• Programmable thermostat for efficient HVAC controls

These are some of the HVAC upgrades that will help you get more from your investment in a new furnace. Things like variable speed fans and programmable thermostats can greatly improve the efficiency of these systems. These improvements give you more from your investment in a new furnace.

These are improvements that you will want to consider the installation of a new furnace for your home. Call a furnace service and ask about some of these upgrades to lower your winter heating costs.
