Everyone wants to have a cozy living space to enjoy during the coldest days of the winter. However, misinformation about heating practices can hinder your efforts to create a comfortable living space. In this blog, we’ll debunk common winter heating myths and introduce our Cascade Energy Services team, your go-to heating and cooling specialists in the Monroe area.
Myth 1: Cranking up the Thermostat Quickly Heats Your Home
The Reality of Thermostat Settings
Many believe that setting the thermostat to a high temperature will heat their home faster. In reality, your HVAC system works at a consistent pace, regardless of the temperature setting. Instead, set a comfortable temperature and allow your system to gradually reach it, saving energy and maintaining a cozy environment.
Myth 2: Closing Vents in Unused Rooms Saves Energy
The Truth About Closing Vents
Closing vents in unused rooms seems like a logical energy-saving strategy, but it can disrupt the balance of your HVAC system. Modern systems are designed to distribute air evenly, and closing vents may lead to increased pressure, causing the system to work harder. Cascade Energy Services can help you optimize your HVAC system for efficient performance.
Myth 3: Fireplaces Are Efficient Heating Sources
Understanding Fireplace Efficiency
While fireplaces add a charming ambiance, they are not the most efficient heating source. In fact, they often draw warm air from your home and send it up the chimney. We’ll explore alternative heating solutions and remind you to ensure your fireplace is properly maintained to maximize its efficiency.

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!
