Brrr-illiant HVAC Tips
Winter’s here, and your heater is working overtime. But worry not, my frozen friends, we’ve GOT you. Here are some quick, no-nonsense tips to keep your home warm, your heating bills reasonable, and your sanity intact.
1. Change Your Air Filters
Yeah, we say this in basically every blog, but a clogged filter is like trying to breathe through a straw. Nobody needs that. Swap it out.
2. Seal the Drafts
Windows and doors are sneaky. They let cold air in and warm air out. Weatherstripping or a draft stopper is cheap, easy, and actually works.
3. Ceiling Fans Ain’t Just for Summer
Flip that fan to reverse. It pushes warm air down instead of pulling it up. That’s it. That’s all for tip #3.
4. THE Thermostat Trick
Keep it consistent. Cranking it to 90 when you get home doesn’t work like in the movies. Programmable thermostats are your friend. Set it so it’s warm when you need it and off when you don’t.
5. Professional Tune-Up
Sure, your system “seems fine,” but a pro can spot problems well before they turn into emergency bills in triple digits. Think of it like an oil change, but for your furnace.
6. Stop Heating The Outside
If you have a fireplace you never use, keep the damper closed and vents clear near exterior walls. Warm air is expensive. Don’t waste it.
