Winter in Conroe can drop into the 30s overnight, and the last thing you want is a cold house and a huge electric bill. Here are the 7 proven tips we give every customer to stay warm without breaking the bank:
- Change your filter TODAY (yes, right now) A dirty filter makes your system work 15–20% harder. Grab a fresh 1-inch pleated filter at any Conroe hardware store for under $15 and swap it out in 60 seconds.
- Set it and forget it: 68° day, 64° night Every degree lower saves you ~3–5% on heating costs. A smart thermostat (we install Nest & Ecobee starting at $279) pays for itself in one winter.
- Let the sun work for free Open south-facing curtains/blinds during the day, close them at sunset. Free heat from the Conroe sun!
- Reverse your ceiling fans Flip the little switch so blades run clockwise (low speed). This pushes warm air down where you actually live.
- Seal the leaks (the $20 fix that saves hundreds) Feel drafts around doors or windows? Weather stripping + door sweeps = instant warmth. We do a full home seal check for $89 if you want it done right.
- Don’t heat empty rooms Close vents and doors to guest rooms or rarely used spaces. Your system won’t fight to heat the whole house.
- Schedule your $79 Winter Tune-Up before January Last year we found 9 out of 10 Conroe systems were losing 20–40% efficiency from simple issues (dirty coils, low refrigerant, bad capacitors). Catch it now while we still have same-week appointments.
