We debunk some pretty common myths about what does and doesn’t heat a house efficiently.

Cranking the Thermostat Heats Your Home Faster

Common sense might suggest that by turning the dial on your thermostat all the way up your home will heat up at a faster rate. But that’s not really the case.

Turning your thermostat all the way up just means that your furnace will pump higher levels of heat into your home—but it’s still going to work at the same pace as before.

Space Heaters Are More Effective Than Your Furnace

Sometimes it can seem like your furnace just isn’t quite cutting it and a few space heaters are the perfect solution to cold spots throughout your home. While space heaters serve as a perfectly adequate temporary solution, even the most efficient space heaters are nowhere near as efficient as gas, and the electricity used to run them is going to end up costing you a lot of money.

That money would be better spent repairing your heating system so it sufficiently heats your entire home without producing any cold spots. Here, find out how to fix it if your heater isn’t working.
