How To Reduce Heating Bills
The first step to reducing your heating bills is to tend to small problems early. This prevents excessive strain on your system, pushing off extensive heater repairs. There are some additional steps to keep your system running efficiently, and keep both your utility and repair costs down.
- Change Your Air Filter Regularly
The easiest thing to do for your heater is changing the furnace air filter regularly. For central air systems, this is usually every 30 to 90 days for 1- or 2-inch filters. If your system uses larger filters, they may last longer.
You should plan to check the filter monthly to ensure that you change it as soon as you need to. While checking it, gently vacuum off the loose dirt to give your system an extra efficiency boost.
- Use Thermostat Programs
The Department of Energy suggests you can save up to 10% of your annual heating costs by using thermostat programs. The idea is to reduce the temperature by 7 to 10 degrees while you’re away from your home. To save the most, keep it at this level for 8 hours daily to reach a 10% savings.
- Double-Check Your Insulation
Your home requires the proper insulation to keep the heat from escaping outside. In Tampa Bay, experts recommend using insulation with a rating of R30 to R60. This rating corresponds to approximately 10 to 14 inches of common insulation materials.
- Inspect & Seal Your Ducts
Your warm air may escape through neglected and damaged ducts. This causes your system to run longer while trying to reach your set temperature. Consider having them professionally inspected and sealed to keep the warm air arriving at its intended place in your home.

These symptoms can be very dangerous, if you notice any unusual smell, leave your house and call for help right away. It could mean there is a gas leak or a broken heat exchanger.
- Loud Noises
Heaters often make noises like the fan whirring or the gas burner swooshing when it starts. If you hear strange, loud noises that make the house shake, it’s a good idea to investigate. Determine the cause of these sounds.
A worn component, like the circulating fan, can cause some noises. Others may indicate a problem with incomplete fuel burning or a cracked heat exchanger.
- Low Airflow
Inadequate air coming from your supply vents inhibits your home from heating effectively. Before calling to schedule a heat pump repair, check to make sure your air filter isn’t clogged. If that’s in good condition, it may indicate the need for duct cleaning, maintenance, or a failing circulating fan motor.
