Running a household can be tough: there are bills to pay, the mortgage, keeping the yard intact—the list goes on and on. Why not ease some of this stress by saving some money on your monthly heating bill? At Service Air Eastern Shore in Fairhope, AL, the heating repair experts know how to be smart about heating your home, so here are a few ways to save on your energy costs each month.

• Clear Vents: Keeping your heating and AC ducts clear is extremely important if you want your HVAC system to work properly. It seems like a given, but this can actually be pretty easy to overlook. Give your home a once over and make sure there aren't any furniture or appliances blocking the flow of your air vents. You may be adding unneeded stress on your HVAC system without even realizing it.
• Furnace Maintenance: One way to make sure you get the most bang for your buck on your energy bill is to make sure your furnace is functioning properly. You can do this by changing your furnace’s air filter each month to allow for proper air flow. Getting it checked and cleaned annually by a heating repair technician will also ensure it’s in perfect working order.
• Use A Space Heater: If you spend a lot of time in one area of the house during the winter, it may be wise to invest in a space heater to cut down on energy costs. There’s no point in heating your entire home while it goes mostly unoccupied.
