Insulate Your Central Heating System’s Main Lines

Insulating the main lines of a building’s heating system reduces heat loss, saving energy and lowering heating costs. It helps maintain consistent temperatures, improves heating response times, and reduces wear on equipment, extending its lifespan.

Check The Radiator Inside The Units

Insight: We know it seems like you shouldn’t have to do this, but make sure the radiator valves in all units are open and nothing is in front of them preventing air from circulating. Tenants will complain about being cold and these two issues are very common reasons why.

Educate Employees on Energy Management

Getting your team on board with energy-saving practices is crucial for long-term success. When everyone is aligned on your building’s efficiency goals, energy savings become a team effort, which helps lighten your workload and make your job easier.

Ensure Steam And Hydronic Heating Systems are Air-Free

Air trapped in your steam or hydronic heating system can cause uneven heating and lead to efficiency losses. Check your system's air vents to ensure any trapped air escapes properly, helping your system run smoothly and maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the building.

Test Hydronic Circulator Pumps

Test all circulator pumps in your hydronic heating system. Ensuring they are fully functional will help you avoid heating delays or uneven distribution across the building.

Layer Smart Technology on Existing Systems

Insight: Smart heating controls let you automate your boiler based on indoor and outdoor temperatures, and even the weather forecast. Fewer tenant complaints about overheated units and saving up to 21% on heating costs? That’s a win.

Implement a Preventative HVAC Maintenance Schedule

Regular HVAC maintenance is key to avoiding sudden breakdowns. By catching small issues before they become big problems, you’ll feel more secure as temperatures drop, knowing your system is prepared for whatever weather comes your way.

Get Compliant

Compliance with local climate laws is non-negotiable if you want to avoid hefty fines. By insulating your heating system, maintaining steam traps, and using smart controls, you’re staying compliant and unlocking potential savings.

Use Smart Controls to Catch Heating Boiler Leaks

Hidden boiler leaks can silently drain up to 30% of your building’s energy. Smart controls can catch these leaks early, helping you avoid expensive breakdowns and save up to 10% on energy costs. Staying on top of this can keep your system running smoothly and prevent unexpected headaches.

Claim Energy Efficiency Rebates for Easy Savings

Don’t leave money on the table—energy efficiency rebates can offset the cost of upgrades. Use the QR code to see which rebates can free up part of your budget for other important needs.

Adjust Temperature Setpoints Strategically

Lowering daytime and nighttime setpoints can cut energy use by 8%. It’s an easy tweak that helps balance cost savings without sacrificing tenant comfort, putting you more in control of your building’s efficiency.
