As Texas begins to see the shorter and cooler days brought on by the oncoming fall weather, you might be wondering when and how you should start changing the temperature in your home. Lucky for you, we’re experts at home temperature efficiency! Superior AC & Heat is here to help you prepare for the fall weather that will soon blow through and start cooling things down.

Change Your Thermostat To Match The Fall Weather

During the fall season, Texas is still prone to both high and low temperatures. To keep your home at a temperature that will be comfortable on both cool days and warm days, experts suggest keeping your home’s thermostat set between 70 and 78 degrees. This range of temperatures will allow you to find a comfortable temperature for your home depending on the outside weather, but it will also keep your energy bill from becoming too unmanageable during the season change. As the outside temperature in Texas adjusts for winter, the fall season can be full of surprises- keeping your thermostat set in this range will allow you to keep your electricity bill under control while still allowing you the chance to make it comfortable depending on the outside temperature.

Inspect Your Furnace and Fireplace

If you have a fireplace or a wood-burning stove, you will likely be using those types of appliances a lot during the coming winter. It’s a good idea to check these aspects of your home now while they aren’t in use so that you will have them ready to go once things start cooling down. For any furnaces or built-in heaters that might be in your home, you’ll want to have them inspected so that you know you can count on them to warm your house when you need them. If they need any repairs or part replacements, you’ll have time to get them fixed if you need to utilize them throughout the wintertime.

Bring Out The Throw Blankets

Your home should be a place where you feel comfortable, but if you prefer to keep your thermostat turned down to a more cost-effective temperature once the cold weather starts to cool down your home, having festive and colorful throw blankets to decorate your living room can also help keep you warm and cozy. As you curl up on the couch to watch a movie, having a blanket to pull around you will make a huge difference in your experience without putting too much of a strain on your electricity bill by changing the temperature too much. Not to mention, they’ll add a great element of decoration to your living room as well!
