For businesses, heating and cooling expenses are expected to be costly. This is because of the size of the area that needs to be conditioned or other specific heating and cooling requirements that need to be met, such as preventing outdoor tankless water heater freezing. Nevertheless, you can still trim your heating and cooling bill and maximize your energy savings by following these tips:

Take advantage of smart technology. If you haven’t upgraded to smart thermostats and sensors yet, this might be a good time to consider it. These devices enable you to pre-program the temperature in your office or shop, allowing you to achieve just the right balance between heating and cooling in a particular area within a specific time period. They also turn off and on automatically, so you can avoid overheating or overcooling the space.

Perform regular maintenance. This may seem like an additional burden to your finances, but you’ll surely be thankful that proper maintenance will help you avoid costly repairs and replacements. By having your HVAC system regularly checked, you’ll be able to spot problems early on and address them before they get worse. Make sure to include your cold climate tankless water heater in these maintenance checks too.

Check your insulation. Any updates of your HVAC system will be useless if you don’t have proper insulation.  When you plan for HVAC upgrades, repairs or replacements, make sure to pay attention to your insulation as well. A poorly-insulated building will naturally leak hot and cold air, reducing and undermining the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems. Of course, this also means higher energy costs for you.
