Things to Consider Checklist - JRV Heating & Cooling LLC

YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER MAKING A CHANGE IF:​​

• Some rooms in your home feel too hot or too cold

• This could be due to duct issues, poor air sealing, or inadequate insulation. Even the most efficient heating and cooling system can’t keep you comfortable if your home isn’t properly sealed. Air leaks force your system to work harder, reducing comfort and increasing energy costs.

  
  

• You're noticing high humidity or too much dust

• These problems can stem from poorly operating or incorrectly sized equipment. Leaky ductwork may also be the culprit. Sealing your ducts and performing regular maintenance—like changing filters monthly—can help improve air quality and comfort.

  
  

• Your cooling system is unusually noisy

• Loud operation may signal that your duct system is the wrong size or that there’s an issue with the indoor coil of your cooling equipment.

  
  

• You need frequent repairs and your energy bills are rising

• While part of this may be due to increasing energy prices, aging or poorly maintained equipment often loses efficiency, leading to higher operating costs and more frequent breakdowns.

  
  

• Your air conditioner or heat pump is over 12 years old

• Upgrading to a newer, energy-efficient model could significantly reduce your energy usage and improve performance.

  
  

• Your furnace or boiler is more than 15 years old

• Consider replacing it with an ENERGY STAR® qualified model. ENERGY STAR-certified systems meet strict energy efficiency standards and can help lower your heating costs.

  
  

• You keep your thermostat set to one temperature all day

• You may be missing a big opportunity to save energy. A programmable thermostat can automatically adjust your home’s temperature based on your schedule, saving energy while you're away or asleep.
