It can be tempting to turn the heat off when you’re about doze off in hopes of saving a few bucks. The truth is, there are plenty of reasons you shouldn’t do this. In this article, one of the leading HVAC installation contractors, Home Air Services, explains why turning your heat off at night is such a bad idea.
A better way to save money on heating expenses is to set the temperature back at least eight degrees for eight hours or longer while you sleep. This also rings true for all the times you’re away during the day. In fact, you can save at least one percent on your heating bill for every degree that you lower your thermostat. If you have a programmable thermostat, you can easily set up schedules with different temperatures throughout the day.

Dear Customers,
We here at Home Air Services hope that you and your families are well in these difficult and unprecedented times. We are pleased to confirm that we are currently operating for both new equipment installations and service / maintenance work. We are here to support you during these trying times. Our office hours are Monday – Friday 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Our phones and website are fully operational. If calling outside of our normal working hours, you will have the option to forward your call to our emergency duty technician.
With regard to COVID-19 our technicians are taking all possible precautions (temperature, booties, masks, etc.) but please let us know if you have any specific requests. In the case of an air-conditioning maintenance, the primary work can be done to the outside unit only. (at your request) Another option is to leave access available to the indoor HVAC portion, so the technician doesn’t need to come in contact with anyone in your household. (basement door unlocked for example) This will allow you to keep your distance and still care for your HVAC system. Our hope is that everyone stays safe and well, and we will get through this together.
For those that are interested, please ask us about the various Indoor Air Quality accessory specials, such as Ultraviolet Germicidal lights, Lennox Air Cleaners, etc.
