As Winter rolls in, San Jose homeowners are still feeling the winter chill. While our Bay Area winters may not be as harsh as in other regions, the cooler nights mean your heating system is working overtime.

If your furnace or heat pump isn’t performing efficiently, you could be losing money on high energy bills.

Here’s everything you need to know about optimizing your heating system, saving money, and ensuring your home stays comfortable.

1. Schedule a Winter HVAC Tune-Up

A well-maintained heating system runs more efficiently and lasts longer. If you haven’t had a professional HVAC tune-up this season, now is the time. Our expert HVAC technicians check for leaks, clean filters, and optimize airflow to ensure peak performance.

2. Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat

A smart thermostat can help you save on heating costs by automatically adjusting the temperature based on your schedule. San Jose homeowners who switch to smart thermostats can save up to 10-15% on their energy bills.

3. Seal Air Leaks & Improve Insulation

Even the best heating system can’t work efficiently if warm air is escaping. Check for drafts around doors, windows, and attics. Sealing leaks and adding insulation can lower heating costs and improve indoor comfort.

4. Replace Dirty or Clogged Air Filters

Dirty filters restrict airflow and make your heating system work harder. To keep your furnace or heat pump running efficiently, replace air filters every 1-3 months.

5. Consider a High-Efficiency Heating Upgrade

If your furnace or heat pump is over 10-15 years old, upgrading to a high-efficiency model could significantly reduce your energy bills. We offer professional installation of energy-efficient HVAC systems that keep your home warm while lowering costs.

6. Know When to Call an HVAC Professional

If you notice inconsistent heating, unusual noises, or higher energy bills, your HVAC system may need repairs. Don’t wait until a complete breakdown our San Jose HVAC experts are here to diagnose and fix any heating issues promptly.
