November in Landenberg brings crisp mornings, cool evenings, and the start of the heating season. While it’s tempting to crank up the thermostat to stay warm, doing so can lead to higher energy bills and unnecessary strain on your HVAC system.
With a few simple strategies, you can maintain comfort, save money, and keep your home running efficiently all month long.
Smart HVAC Practices for November
1. Adjust Your Thermostat Strategically
Lowering your thermostat by just a few degrees while you sleep or when the house is empty can significantly reduce energy usage without sacrificing comfort. Consider a programmable or smart thermostat to automate adjustments.
2. Maintain Your Furnace or Heating System
A well-maintained system runs more efficiently. Schedule a professional inspection, replace air filters, and ensure vents and ducts are clear to optimize airflow.
3. Zone Heating When Possible
Focus heat on occupied rooms. Closing vents in unused areas and using portable space heaters safely can help you save energy without leaving anyone cold.
4. Seal Windows and Doors
Drafts are a major source of heat loss. Weatherstripping, caulking, or using draft stoppers on doors and windows can keep warm air inside and reduce your heating load.
Additional Energy-Saving Tips
Use Ceiling Fans Wisely
Running fans clockwise on low helps push warm air from the ceiling down, improving comfort and reducing the need for higher thermostat settings.
Manage Humidity
Proper indoor humidity (30–50%) makes your home feel warmer at lower temperatures, allowing you to keep the thermostat lower without sacrificing comfort.
Utilize Curtains and Window Treatments
Open curtains during the day to let sunlight warm your home naturally, then close them at night to retain heat.
Limit Heat-Generating Appliances
Stoves, ovens, and electronics can add unwanted heat to certain areas, confusing your thermostat. Be mindful of appliance use during cooler periods.
