As winter’s chill settles in and temperatures drop, the urge to crank up the thermostat becomes irresistible. However, the fear of skyrocketing energy bills often holds us back. The good news is that there are practical ways to stay warm without breaking the bank. Cascade Energy Services, with our skilled technicians, can assist you in optimizing the efficiency of your furnace and heating in your Issaquah home.
Here are some energy-saving tips to keep your home cozy without burning a hole in your pocket:
1. Seal the Leaks: Drafts around windows and doors can significantly impact your home’s heating efficiency. Check for gaps and seal them with weatherstripping or caulking. This simple step prevents warm air from escaping and cold air from infiltrating your living space.
2. Upgrade Insulation: Adequate insulation is crucial for maintaining a comfortable temperature indoors. If your home lacks proper insulation, consider investing in an upgrade. It may seem like an upfront cost, but the long-term energy savings make it a wise investment.
3. Use Programmable Thermostats: Take advantage of technology by installing programmable thermostats. Set them to lower the temperature when you’re away or sleeping and raise it when you’re at home. This can result in substantial energy savings without compromising comfort.
4. Regular HVAC Maintenance: A well-maintained heating system operates more efficiently. Schedule regular maintenance with us at Cascade Energy Services to ensure your furnace is running at its best. Simple tasks like replacing air filters and cleaning ducts can make a significant difference.
5. Optimize Natural Sunlight: Open curtains during the day to let sunlight in, naturally warming your home. Close them at night to retain the heat. This simple strategy maximizes the use of free, natural energy.

I highly recommend Bill from Cascade Energy Services. He did what other HVAC companies in the area weren't able to do. Instead of trying to sell me into buying a new HVAC unit (which is what I initially contacted him for), he found me a replacement part for my existing high-end Trane furnace, ordered it on my behalf for local pickup just down the road from my house. This saved me $$ by not having to replace my entire furnace. I had paid another HVAC company to come out and try to find the replacement part but they couldn't do it. Bill did it over phone / email and didn't charge me anything. I simply paid for the part (at wholesale cost) that he ordered, and once I plugged in the new part (pressure switch), my furnace was up and running like normal. I'd trust Bill on the any HVAC matters. He is very knowledgeable and cares about doing the right thing for the customer. I now have a trusted go-to source for future heating and cooling needs!
