Here are a few ways you can do so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Maintain Your Heater<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should maintain your home\u2019s heater every single fall\nseason. If you\u2019re not doing this, it means that you\u2019re opening up your heater\nto potential problems. Our heating technicians can get in and out of your home\nfast for your maintenance appointment. We\u2019re going to pinpoint the problems and\nfix them before they can pose a real threat to your comfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Change Your Filter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be changing your heater\u2019s filter at least once a\nseason. For the heating season, this means that you should switch it out once\nin the fall and once in the winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you dropped the ball in fall, there\u2019s still time to pick it up this winter. Changing your filter means that you\u2019re priming your home for quality work. We\u2019re here to help you out with everything you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Upgrade Your Thermostat <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve had the same thermostat for the past decade, then you\u2019re overdue for an upgrade. Smart and Wi-Fi thermostats are the best way to improve your energy efficiency, comfort, and heating longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Add Insulation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might need to add insulation to your home if you can\u2019t get the heating you\u2019re looking for with ease. If you don\u2019t have great heating insulation, then it means you\u2019re going to pay for heating that\u2019s simply flying out of your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Open Your Blinds\/Curtains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let in some natural light during the day. Natural light is a great way to naturally raise the temperature of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Layer Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing wrong with throwing on an extra layer while\nyou\u2019re at home. Pull out those fuzzy socks and a blanket when the temperatures\ndip in the evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Use Your Ceiling Fan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can actually use your home\u2019s ceiling fan during winter too! All you need to do is grab a step-stool, get up to the base of your home\u2019s ceiling fan, and flip the switch at the base. This redirects the flow of your home\u2019s ceiling fan to push the warm air that typically collects at the top of your home down to the room where you can enjoy it. This will help you spend less time and energy heating your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Contact Kennihan Plumbing &amp; Heating, Inc. today.<\/a> We treat your home like its our grandma\u2019s home.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are 7 simple ways that you can lower your home&#8217;s heating bills this winter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[103,158,159],"class_list":["post-731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating-service","tag-butler","tag-heating-bills","tag-heating-efficiency"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=731"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":734,"href":"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731\/revisions\/734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
