Heating & Cooling Energy Tips

Heating Tips

Set your thermostat as low as it is comfortable.

Check or change filters on furnaces once a month.

Clean warm-air registers as needed; make sure they're not blocked by furniture, carpeting or drapes.

Use kitchen, bath and other ventilating fans wisely; in just one hour, these fans can pull out a houseful of warmed or cooled air. Turn fans off as soon as they have done the job.

Keep draperies and shades open on south-facing windows during the heating season to allow sunlight to enter your home; close them at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows.

Close an unoccupied room that is isolated from the rest of the house such as in a corner and turn down the thermostat or turn off the heating for that room or zone. Do not, however, turn the heating off if it adversely affects the rest of your system.

Heat Pumps

If you use electricity to heat your home, consider installing an energy efficient heat pump system. Heat pumps are the most efficient form of electric heating in moderate climates, providing three times more heating than the equivalent amount of energy they consume in electricity. There are three types of heat pumps: air-to-air, water source and ground source. They collect heat from the air, water or ground outside your home and concentrate it for use inside. Heat pumps do double duty as a central air conditioner. They can also cool your home by collecting the heat inside your house and effectively pumping it outside. A heat pump can trim the amount of electricity you use for heating as much as 30% to 40%.

Heat Pump Tips

Do not set back the heat pump's thermostat manually if it causes the electric resistance heating to come on. This type of heating, which is often used as a backup to the heat pump, is more expensive.
Check or change filters once a month or as needed and maintain the system according to manufacturer's instructions.

Gas Furnaces

The average life of a furnace is 15-20 years. The average furnace older than 10 years is only operating at 50% efficiency. New furnaces on the market today reach between 80%-98% efficiency, offering immediate savings on your heating bill.

Gas furnaces are rated for efficiency with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency number (AFUE). According to the state's Energy Efficiency Standards, Title 24, the minimum AFUE for central furnace systems now sold in California is 0.78, which means that 78 percent of the fuel used by the furnace actually reaches your home's duct work as heat. The higher the AFUE, the more efficient the furnace.

Gas Furnace Tips

Don't block registers, vents or heating units with furniture or drapes. That makes your furnace work harder and uses more energy.
Consider installing a programmable thermostat. You can save as much as 10% a year on your heating and cooling bills by simply turning your thermostat back 10% to 15% for 8 hours with an automatic setback or programmable thermostat.

Using a programmable thermostat you can adjust the times you turn on the heating or air-conditioning according to a pre-set schedule. Programmable thermostats can store and repeat multiple daily setting (four or more temperature setting a day) that you can manually override without affecting the rest of the daily or weekly program.
