A tune-up will maximize your efficiency, improve your fuel economy, and help you catch small problems before they become big, expensive repairs.
- Programmable Thermostats: This handy-dandy gadget will help you take control of your home’s heating by allowing you to program the temperature to reduce while you’re away or sleeping. All you have to do is set the thermostat to decrease the temperature when you’re out of the house or asleep at night. By doing this, you’ll burn less fuel when you don’t need it.
- Clean Ducts & Change Filters: Keeping your ducts free of dust, dirt, and debris will keep your vents unobstructed and your system running at max efficiency. The same is true for your filters. The dirtier the filter, the harder a time your heating system will have keeping a steady temperature.
