Let’s Clear the Air About This Common Heating Misconception
One of the most persistent myths in home heating is that turning your thermostat to a higher temperature than needed will heat your home more quickly. As heating professionals at Dowe & Wagner, Inc., we regularly encounter homeowners who believe this misconception.
Here’s the truth: Your furnace works at the same speed regardless of how high you set the thermostat. Think of it like an elevator button – pressing it multiple times won’t make it arrive any faster!
Why This Myth Is Costly:
- Excessive energy consumption
- Higher utility bills
- Unnecessary strain on your heating system
- Potential overheating of your space
The Right Approach:
Instead of cranking up the heat, set your thermostat to your desired temperature and let the system work as designed. Your furnace will efficiently heat your home to the target temperature without wasting energy or causing unnecessary wear and tear.
For optimal heating performance and efficiency, remember to:
- Schedule regular maintenance
- Change filters monthly
- Consider a programmable thermostat
- Keep vents unobstructed
