When cold weather arrives, the cost to heat your house rises. That’s common sense and you expect it, just the way you expect to pay more to run your AC during the summer.

You’d like to pay less for home heating, of course, but you may not think that’s possible. “Heat costs are what they are,” you might say. But the truth is really that heating costs are often more than they should be. You don’t have to be a fatalist about heating costs—you can take steps to pay less and still enjoy comfort. 

We offer several heating services in Conyers, GA that can help you wrangle control over your heating bills this season. There are also several steps you can take on your own to help. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Why Is My Heater Shutting Off Early?

Monday, November 22nd, 2021
gas-burners-furnace

The HVAC system in your home is designed to turn on the heating system when the thermostat registers that the household needs warmth. The thermostat signals the heater to start its heating cycle, and then it runs until the thermostat detects the home’s temperature has reached its target setting. The thermostat then has the heater cycle down until it’s needed again.

As the winter temperatures continue to fall, you’ll notice your heating system will run in longer cycles. This is normal: your house will lose more heat to the outside, requiring the heater to run for longer to reach your desired temperature. (We recommend a setting of 68°F, which not only makes the heater run less often but also slows down heat loss to the outdoors.) 

But you may be experiencing something … different. A heater that seems to run in shorter and shorter cycles, shutting off early before it can heat up the house enough, then turning back on a short time later and repeating the process. Why is your heater doing this? And what can you do about it?

It is relatively possible to make it through an entire winter without a heating system in your home. We say it’s possible but that definitely does not mean that it is preferable. If you have a heater that needs to be replaced though, you might be looking at attempting to get through the next several months without a source of reliable warmth. We’d like to help you avoid that discomfort and hassle.

When it comes to getting a new heating system in your home, there is a lot to take into consideration. You don’t want to choose the wrong system and end up paying more money for less comfort. But this doesn’t mean that you should just throw up your hands and choose a space heater either.

Selecting a new heating system is no small decision. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when you need to find your next heater.

Upgrading Your Thermostat Can Upgrade Your Comfort

Monday, October 11th, 2021

You deserve a home that offers you the best in comfort. Your home should be a haven when the weather outside becomes uncomfortable. You have a powerful AC unit and a reliable heater to help make this a reality. But there is one part of your set-up that can ruin your comfort even with the right AC or heater: your thermostat.

The thermostat controls the operation of your HVAC systems. It’s the control center. This means that if something goes wrong with it, then the performance of your AC and heater will be affected and, by default, so will your comfort.

A faulty thermostat can ruin your comfort. But, this means that upgrading the thermostat can take your comfort to the next level. Here is how to tell it is time to switch.
