We want you to be well informed when it comes to your HVAC system because the more you know the better you will take care of your system. The better you take care of your system, the more efficient it will run, and that saves you time and money.<\/p>\n<p>This FAQ page provides answers to some of the most common home heating questions, but please contact us for any more information or to get answers to your specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating &amp; air conditioning<\/a> questions!<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Home_Heating_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Home Heating Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_Heating_Question_1_How_can_I_increase_my_furnaces_efficiency\"><\/span>Home Heating Question 1: How can I increase my furnace&#8217;s efficiency?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are several steps you can take to ensure that your furnace is operating a peak efficiency to heat your home:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Have the right size heating system. One too big and it will cycle on and off too frequently; one too small and it will run constantly.<\/li>\n<li>Replace or clean filters frequently.<\/li>\n<li>Set the blower to the &ldquo;auto&rdquo; position, which allows for better and more efficient air flow.<\/li>\n<li>Install shades, shutters, or heavy drapes on your windows to help reduce heat loss.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_Heating_Question_2_At_what_temperature_should_I_set_my_thermostat_for_winter_months\"><\/span>Home Heating Question 2: At what temperature should I set my thermostat for winter months?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We recommend 68 to 71\u00b0F when you are at home and not sleeping. 68\u00b0F will keep you comfortable if you are moving around, but depending on your body temperature, it can be a bit chilly if you are sedentary.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend 62\u00b0F when you are not home and for bedtime temps. Most people sleep better in a cooler environment, so dropping the temperature to 62\u00b0F at night will help you get a better night&#8217;s rest. It will also save energy which will save you money!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_Heating_Question_3_What_is_the_deal_with_programmable_thermostats\"><\/span>Home Heating Question 3: What is the deal with programmable thermostats?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/home-heating-questions-2.jpg\" alt=\"Home Heating Questions | St. Louis HVAC Tips\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2681\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We love this home heating question because technology has advanced so much in recent years. Programmable thermostats are more efficient and accurate than the mercury-based thermostats installed back in the day. Programmable thermostats let you set the temperature based on days of the weeks and times of the day. You do not have to worry about coming home to a cold house after work and waiting for it to get warm or get out of your warm, comfy bed to a freezing cold room. You will be comfortable all day, every day!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_Heating_Question_4_Does_my_furnace_need_regular_maintenance\"><\/span>Home Heating Question 4: Does my furnace need regular maintenance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is perhaps the most common home heating question and one of the most important. Yes, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/quote-request.php\">HVAC system<\/a> really does need regular maintenance.
