How to Detect a Loss of Efficiency in Your System

When you’ve switched to a more environmentally friendly heating or cooling system by switching from oil to electricity, it’s important to ensure your system is operating optimally to ensure its efficiency. Here are some signs that may indicate a loss of efficiency in your system:

  • Increased Energy Consumption: If you notice a significant increase in your electricity bill for no apparent reason, this could indicate a loss of efficiency in your system. A professional inspection is recommended.
  • Inconsistent temperature: If you experience significant temperature variations between different rooms in your home, it may mean that your heating or cooling system is not operating optimally.
  • Unusual noises: Strange noises coming from your system, such as squeaking, clicking, or vibrating, may be a sign of a potential problem. It’s important not to ignore these warning signs and to call a professional for a diagnosis.
  • System age: If your heating or cooling system is more than 10 years old, it may be starting to lose efficiency. In this case, consider replacing it with a newer, more efficient model.
  • Being aware of the telltale signs of a loss of efficiency in your system is essential to ensuring optimal comfort in your home while minimizing your environmental impact. By taking proactive steps to keep your system in good working order, you’re helping to ensure the sustainability of your transition to greener equipment.
