Winter Energy Bills Too High? Citrus Heights HVAC Help
Surprised by your winter energy bill in Citrus Heights? Here's why it's higher, and what you can do about it.
During winter, heating systems run longer each day and more daily activity happens indoors. That combination adds up quickly, even if routines haven't changed much.
Biggest thermostat mistake:
Cranking the thermostat to 75° or 78° to "heat faster." Your furnace doesn't work that way—it heats at the same speed whether set to 68° or 78°. Higher settings just make it run longer, wasting energy without adding comfort.
Smart heating tips for lower bills:
✅ Keep thermostat at 68-70° when home
✅ Lower to 60-62° when sleeping or away
✅ Replace air filters monthly
✅ Keep vents unblocked
✅ Use programmable thermostat
