When the cooler months arrive, keeping your home warm shouldn’t mean facing high utility bills. With a few smart adjustments and regular system care, you can stay comfortable and save money all season long. At Purl’s Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning, our technicians help homeowners maximize energy efficiency through expert heating maintenance in Fresno, CA and membership in our Ultimate Service Agreement—a program designed to keep your system running efficiently while reducing long-term costs.
Schedule Professional Heating Maintenance
The best way to lower heating costs is to make sure your system runs efficiently. A well-maintained furnace or heat pump uses less energy to produce the same amount of heat. During a professional tune-up, Purl’s technicians clean components, tighten electrical connections, and check for early signs of wear that can lead to breakdowns or wasted energy. Members of our Ultimate Service Agreement receive annual maintenance visits, priority scheduling, and exclusive discounts that make staying comfortable both simple and affordable.
Replace or Clean Air Filters Regularly
A dirty filter restricts airflow, forcing your heating system to work harder and consume more energy. Check your filters every month during heavy heating use and replace them when they appear dirty. Clean airflow not only improves efficiency but also extends the lifespan of your equipment. If you’re unsure which filter type is best for your system, Purl’s Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning can help you select one that provides the right balance of protection and performance.
Seal Air Leaks and Insulate
Even the most efficient furnace will struggle to heat a drafty home. Gaps around doors, windows, and duct joints allow heat to escape, making your system run longer to maintain comfort. Sealing those leaks and adding insulation to attics or crawl spaces keeps warm air inside and reduces energy waste. Our team can assess your ductwork for leaks and recommend professional sealing to improve performance and lower energy use.
Use a Programmable Thermostat
Installing a programmable or smart thermostat is a small investment that delivers big savings. Set it to lower the temperature automatically while you’re asleep or away and warm the house before you wake or return. Reducing your thermostat setting by just a few degrees for part of the day can cut your heating bill significantly. Purl’s technicians can recommend and install thermostats that integrate seamlessly with your existing HVAC system.
Take Advantage of the Sun
Natural sunlight is a free source of heat. Keep curtains and blinds open during the day to let the sun warm your living spaces, then close them at night to retain that heat. Combining this simple habit with a well-tuned heating system helps maintain steady comfort without extra energy use.
