How to Save Money Now on Your Heating Bills

Dan Walsh • February 5, 2020

The cold weather has set in, let’s take a look at 4 things you can do to save money on your heating bills this winter.

1) Get a smart, setback thermostat.  According to the Department of Energy, “you can save as much as 10% a year on heating & cooling bills simply turning your thermostat back 7-10 degrees for 8 hours a day from it’s normal setting.”  A smart thermostat can help you do that and you can control it all from your Smart Phone.  AAA is an Authorized Nest Thermostat Installer.

2) Schedule an annual furnace maintenance appointment for a Furnace Clean & Check.  A licensed and trained HVAC technician will properly vacuum out your furnace to help maximize it’s performance along with conducting a careful safety check to make sure it’s ready for the season. Call AAA for your $110 Cleaning & Safety Furnace Inspection.

3) Change your furnace filter every month.  A good working filter will help keep your air clean as well as your furnace clean and running properly and efficiently.  AAA Parts Department carries almost any filter for all of the name brand furnaces.

4) Add a humidifier or make sure that your humidifier filter has been changed.  A humidifier can help reduce heating bills because humidified air feels warmer.  This allows you to maintain a lower temperature in your home.  Humidifier filters keep your humidifier running properly and enjoy cleaner, healthier air.

Call AAA for all your furnace repair or HVAC needs.
