Winter Heating Tips

Reverse Your Ceiling Fans

Set fans to spin clockwise in winter. This gently pushes warm air back down where you can actually feel it.

Use A Programmable Thermostat

Lower temps when you’re away or asleep. Done right, this can reduce heating costs by up to 25%.

Double-Check Your Thermostat Mode

Make sure the AC mode is off. Heating while it’s still enabled can quietly drive up costs.

Test Smoke Detectors

Heating season is peak season for system-related issues. Fresh batteries matter.

Hold a Steady Temperature

Constantly turning the heat on and off makes your system strain to re-warm the house. Consistency saves energy.

Keep Vents Open and Clear

Blocked or closed vents force your system to work harder than necessary.

Change Your Furnace Filter

A dirty filter restricts airflow and reduces efficiency. If it’s been a while, now’s the time.

Maintain Healthy Humidity

Colorado winters are dry. Aim for ~40% indoor humidity to:

  • Feel warmer at lower temps
  • Reduce dry skin & respiratory irritation
  • Protect furniture and wood surfaces

A simple humidifier in key rooms can make a big difference.

Don’t Be Afraid To Ask For Help

If your system hasn’t been inspected recently, winter is when small issues turn into expensive ones.

A routine HVAC inspection helps:

  • Catch problems early
  • Improve efficiency
  • Extend the life of your system
  • Keep heating costs predictable
