Energy Saving Tips for Heating Season – Parkersburg & Surrounding Areas
Want to lower your energy bills this fall and winter without a major renovation? A few simple upgrades to your heating system can make a noticeable difference. Here are some of the best ways to keep your home warm and your energy costs down as the weather turns colder.
Schedule a Heating Tune-Up Before the Cold Hits
A furnace or heat pump that hasn't been serviced has to work harder to heat your home, and that extra effort shows up on your energy bill. A professional heating maintenance visit cleans and inspects your system so it runs efficiently all season. With our Comfort Club maintenance plan, you'll never have to remember to schedule it.
Change Your Air Filter Regularly
A clogged air filter restricts airflow and forces your system to run longer. Checking your filter every month and replacing it when it's dirty is one of the easiest energy savers there is. You can even order air filters right from our website.
Upgrade to a Programmable Thermostat
Heating an empty house wastes energy. A programmable thermostat lowers the temperature automatically while you're away or asleep and warms things back up before you need it.
Keep Your Ductwork Clean
Dust and debris in your ducts can make your system work harder to move warm air through your home. Professional air duct cleaning helps your system breathe easier and can improve your indoor air quality, too.
Heat Only the Rooms You Use
If some rooms are always too hot or too cold, HVAC zoning lets you control the temperature in different areas of your home separately, so you're not paying to heat rooms no one is using.
