Failing to minimize the effects of heat loss in your home can create several issues for your system and your home, including these concerns:
- Your furnace or boiler has to work harder to achieve the same level of heating, which increases the wear and tear, possibly leading to more repairs and possible breakdowns.
- You may see an increase in your energy bills since your system has to provide more heat to account for the loss through air gaps and insufficient insulation.
- On the coldest days, your furnace or boiler may fail to meet demand, putting the equipment at risk of overheating or malfunctioning.
- Your home may have inconsistent heating, condensation buildup, and a higher risk of mold or mildew growth.
