Should I Set My Heater to ON or AUTO This Winter?

As winter approaches, will your HVAC’s “auto” setting reduce your energy bills and offer comfortable interiors? In this post, Air Products & Services, a reliable air conditioning installation company, will discuss if this small change in setting can benefit you.

Benefits of Setting Your Heater to AUTO 

Auto settings typically conserve energy and lower costs. They activate your compressor automatically until sensors detect that the room has reached its desired temperature. Then, they turn off automatically until more heat is needed to keep your home consistently warm all day long. 

Benefits of Setting Your Heater to ON 

Setting your heater on ON mode provides improved comfort by introducing constant warmth. The ON setting also increases airflow, filters dust and debris and keeps your home free from electrostatic charge by helping raise humidity during dry winter days.

The Right Setting for Your Home

The right setting for your residential AC depends on your individual needs and preferences. Setting your heater to auto is the way to go if you are looking for maximum energy efficiency. Is comfort a top priority? Set your heater to ON to enjoy consistent warmth, especially on cold nights.

HVAC Installation and Heating Efficiency

Proper HVAC installations let systems heat and cool your home as the manufacturers intended. They only work with certified technician teams trained and certified to install warranty-covered systems. If you hired a certified contractor to install your system and it’s covered under warranty, both ON and auto settings should keep your home warm and energy efficient.
