Five Simple Ways to Keep Your Home Warm and Your Energy Bills Low This Winter

As the Front Range temperatures start to drop, keeping your home warm shouldn’t mean watching your energy bills climb sky-high. At Titan Heating & Cooling, we believe small steps make a big difference in both comfort and efficiency. Here are five easy, affordable ways to stay cozy this winter — and keep your system running smoothly.

1. Schedule a Furnace or Boiler Tune-Up

Before the first deep freeze hits, have your system inspected by a professional. A tune-up ensures everything is running efficiently and safely, helping you avoid unexpected breakdowns when you need heat most. A clean, tuned system can reduce energy use by up to 15% — that’s savings you’ll feel all season long.

2. Change or Clean Your Air Filters

It’s simple, but it’s often overlooked. Dirty filters restrict airflow, forcing your furnace to work harder and use more energy. Check your filter monthly during heavy use and replace it when it looks dusty or gray.

3. Seal Drafts and Check Insulation

Windows, doors, and even attic hatches can let warm air escape. Use weatherstripping or caulk to seal gaps and consider adding insulation in problem areas. A few small fixes can make a big difference in comfort — and reduce the strain on your heating system.

4. Use a Programmable or Smart Thermostat

Set your thermostat to lower a few degrees while you’re away or asleep. Even a small adjustment — say, from 70°F to 67°F overnight — can cut heating costs without sacrificing comfort. Smart thermostats let you control your home temperature from anywhere, saving you energy and worry.

5. Bleed Radiators and Check Water Pressure (for Boiler Systems)

Air trapped in your radiators can prevent even heating. If your boiler system isn’t warming evenly, bleeding radiators is a quick fix. Always check your system’s pressure gauge afterward — and if you’re unsure, call a pro to make sure everything’s balanced and safe.
