Helpful Home Heating Tips From Your Cedar Park TX HVAC Professionals

By Hans Gerhard


Summers in the Austin area can be very hot and muggy. On the other hand, it can get quite cold at times in the winter and you need a heat system that you can depend on. Here are some helpful tips from your Cedar Park AC repair company, to keep you and your family warm all winter long, even on the coldest of nights.

Remember to reverse your ceiling fans before using the heat. If you leave the fans on "summer" setting, the air from the fan will have a chilling effect. Reversing the motor will cause the blades to pull cool air up from the floor and send warm air down to the living space, making it more comfortable on everyone.

You can increase your home heat system if you remember to change the filter every month, and for winter change the blower speed from high to low (or medium). High speeds are for air conditioning, and a lower speed will keep from cooling off your heated air as it flows though the ducts. Your heat technician can show you what to do.

At present, money could be flowing out of your windows, in the form of higher energy bills. Maybe you can't afford new and efficient windows but almost everyone can buy insulated curtains. This helps to cut energy usage and increase home comfort.

To lower your energy costs in winter, set the wall thermostat for 68 degrees instead of 70. This can save a great deal of money, and you can make up the difference by using warmer blankets at night. Also, you can install a programmable thermostat, to save even more money.

A well tuned heating system is more efficient and makes the home more comfortable. To make sure that your HVAC system is in top shape, contact your cooling and heating pros in Cedar Park for a winter tune up and cleaning. You will save money, and enjoy fewer problems this year.
