Five Easy Ways To Keep Your Energy Bills Low This Winter

Are your gas or electric bills getting larger every winter? Colder weather and rising utility prices mean everyone ends up paying more for heat. But, you can still reduce your costs with these five tips:

1. Get A Clean-and-Check
2. Replace Your Heater Filter
3. Block Drafts From Coming Into The House
4. Turn Down The Thermostat Two Degrees
5. Use A Smart Thermostat

Call us at Compass for a free consultation if you’re concerned about your rising utility bills. We’ll check your current system and let you know what you can do to improve its efficiency.

If your old heater is on the way out, maybe it’s time to consider a heat pump instead of another conventional heater. Today’s heat pumps are strong enough for the coldest winter nights. And, they make your home more comfortable while reducing your energy bills.

We wouldn’t have recommended these for homes in Carpentersville a decade ago. It would get too cold for those old units to work in an Illinois winter!

But, the heat pumps on the market today keep working even when it’s negative 13 degrees F outside. And, you’ll feel the difference inside — and when you pay your bills.

You can learn more about heat pump options in our Learning Library. Or, check out our podcast episode about replacing conventional HVAC with a heat pump.

How Long Can A House Stay Warm Without Heat?

A house stays warm for 8 to 12 hours without any heat. This depends on the size of your home and its insulation. If you’re without heat, close your windows and seal off any unused rooms. Let in as much sunlight as possible and close the curtains at night.

The idea here is to prevent heat from escaping the house. Remember: the cold doesn’t come in. The heat leaves.

If your heater breaks down this winter, call Compass Heating and Air any time, day or night, at (630) 504-8688.
