With cooler weather on the way for California’s Central Valley, this blog post will cover a few easy tips to help homeowners stay warmer while also saving money.
Thermostat Settings
Finding the right settings for your home’s thermostat can mean savings of up to 10% on energy bills. Selecting a temperature of 7 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit lower than the normal setting for eight hours each day can accomplish this. Keeping the difference between outside and inside temperatures as small as possible reduces the amount of energy needed. That means lower heating costs.
A standard winter setting of 68 degrees during your waking hours is optimal for energy savings. Letting your home’s indoor temperature stay low not only reduces energy used but also minimizes your carbon footprint.
Switch to a Smart Thermostat
Smart thermostats can save you money by controlling your heating unit in greater detail. With a smart thermostat, you can schedule temperature settings for specific times of day. This way, you can optimize the balance between comfort and efficiency by customizing your heat output according to when people are home, when they’re not, when they’re asleep, and more. There’s no longer a need to keep the house at your preferred temperature during periods of the day when there’s simply no one home to appreciate it.

Have an HVAC Checkup
Getting your heating system inspected and serviced is a great way to look after it and save money. Maintenance checkups, performed by qualified professionals, are designed to find small issues before they become big headaches. Something as simple as replacing a dirty air filter can make a difference, but there may be times when you need expert help for an entire heating system or furnace replacement. Schedule a heating maintenance or furnace maintenance appointment now before peak heating season starts to get the most out of your tune-up visit and avoid any untimely surprise problems.
