It\u2019s fine if you\u2019re using your heater more than you usually would now. This is to be expected after all, since it\u2019s so cold here during this time of year. What we want to make you aware of is that there\u2019s a fine line between running your heater <em>often <\/em>and running your heater <em>irresponsibly. <\/em>You might not think of turning on your heater as something that can be defined as \u201cright\u201d or \u201cwrong,\u201d and it really isn\u2019t this black and white. But there are some best practices for you to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to give you all the knowledge you need to avoid <a href=\"\/service-areas\/bolingbrook-il-hvac-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">furnace repair in Bolingbrook, IL<\/a>.

We meet so many homeowners who are surprised by this, but it makes a lot of sense. Think about it: you know that heat rises and, most of the time, the room registers are toward the top of the walls. This means that heat\u00a0flows\u00a0out into the rooms and then clusters toward the ceilings. Using your ceiling fan (in a reverse setting) can help push the warm air moving out into your home downward where it can actually heat you up.<\/p>\n<h3>Make Sure You Schedule Maintenance<\/h3>\n<p>Did you schedule a maintenance appointment for your heating system this winter? If you haven\u2019t scheduled one this year, it\u2019s not too late to do so. Maintenance is a vital service for your heating system. Trust us when we say that it\u2019s important. Professional maintenance is an opportunity for a trained and certified technician to take a close peek into your system, point out any potential problems, and then create a plan of action. We\u2019re going to make sure that any problems bubbling up beneath the surface are stomped out before you even notice them.<\/p>\n<h3>Set Your Thermostat a Little Lower<\/h3>\n<p>We know what you\u2019re probably thinking after reading this heading, \u201cSet the thermostat \u2026 <em>lower<\/em>? They\u2019re crazy!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We know that setting your thermostat to a lower setting in winter can seem a\u00a0bit\u00a0counter-intuitive, but trust us, it\u2019s going to save you a substantial amount of energy and money as a result. You don\u2019t have to go without the heating you need in the day but try setting your thermostat to a lower temperature at night while you\u2019re sleeping.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Contact Johansen &amp; Anderson Inc to <a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">schedule an appointment<\/a> with our professionals.
