The below zero temperatures are almost here. Getting even a taste of the cold breeze sends shivers down your spine. After spending a few minutes out in the cold, we all want to come into a warm and cozy home. The most tempting thing to do is blast your heat to feel that instant comfort. But it is important to be mindful of that heating bill you’ll be receiving at the end of the month. This winter stay warm while saving on your heating bills with these helpful tips. 

Use a Programmable Thermostat
Programmable thermostats are essential in this day and age. They allow you to maximize comfort while minimizing spendings. With a programmable thermostat, you can automate your desired temperatures based on your schedule. At Maple Air Heating and Cooling, serving the Greater Toronto Area, we offer a variety of programmable thermostats from brands such as Carrier and Ecobee.

Furnace Maintenance
Before the cold season hits, make sure your furnace is in working condition. A furnace maintenance will help increase the efficiency of your system. If there are any issues with your furnace, it is important to get your system repaired sooner than later to avoid a broken heating system in the middle of winter. Maple Air Heating and Cooling, serving the Greater Toronto Area, can assist you with any of your maintenance or repair needs. Contact us today to have a certified technician inspect your furnace this season.

Seal the Leaks
If there are leaks in your home allowing for cold air to enter, you are wasting a ton of money on your heating bill every month. Make sure you prepare your home for the cold weather by examining your home for any leaks. If you find any leaks or drafts, simply use a sealing product to winterize your home.

Avoid Vent Obstruction
If your vents are covered by clutter, furniture, or décor you are causing airflow to be restricted. Attempting to heat a room with a blocked air vent will not be very successful. If you notice that a specific room in your home is much colder than other rooms, make sure to check and remove any vent obstruction. 

Simple maintenance, upgrades, and mindful actions around your home can go far with saving you money on your heating bills.
