Bobby Hett

We had a main line drain clog under the house. Russell was our technician and approached the problem from outside the house, working retrograde from a trap in the front yard. I was skeptical but it worked when my efforts with a cable inside the house had failed. He was very professional and pleasant to deal with.  We asked him to install a cleanout closer to the house for future use and we were very satisfied with the work.

Tyler is the best! He came to our parent's house, knew exactly what the problem was, and explained it to us without the typical guesswork. I'd recommend him any time you need a good plumber.

The help desk team was very professional, courteous, and friendly. All responses were timely. The field technician showed up on time and diagnosed the issue accurately. Kudos to the Service Hero team!

Why a Heating Schedule Matters

Running your heat all day and night without a plan can lead to bigger problems like high energy bills and worn-out equipment. Over time, your system may break down and require heating repair, which can be costly. Setting a personalized schedule gives your heating system a break when you don’t need it and turns it up when you do.

It’s like meal prepping—but for your home’s temperature. With some planning, you can keep things cozy when you’re home and save energy when you’re not. Plus, when your system works more efficiently, you’re less likely to call an HVAC company in Eastvale, CA for emergency help.

We Provide Professional Plumbing & HVAC Services

Tailored services to meet your specific needs and budget, ensuring optimal performance and comfort.

Understand Your Family’s Daily Routine

Start by writing down when everyone leaves the house and when they return. Think about these questions:

  • Is the house empty during school or work hours?
     
  • Do you stay home during the day?
     
  • What time do people usually go to bed or wake up?
     

These answers will help you choose the best times to turn the heat down or up. A good rule of thumb is to lower the heat about 10-15 degrees when no one is home. This small change can make a big difference in energy use without affecting comfort.

Use a Smart Thermostat (If You Have One)

Smart thermostats make it easier to stick to a schedule. They can learn your habits and adjust the temperature automatically. Some even let you control everything from your phone!

Even if you don’t have a smart thermostat, you can still set a manual one with morning, daytime, evening, and nighttime temperatures. Just update it when your routine changes, like during summer vacations or holidays.

Also, if your system isn’t working as it should, it’s best to check in with a reliable HVAC company to ensure everything runs smoothly. Service Hero can inspect your system and help you maximize your heating setup.

Don’t Forget the Weekends

Weekends differ from weekdays, especially if you sleep or spend more time at home. Adjust your heating schedule to match your weekend routine. For example, if you like staying in bed longer on Saturday mornings, set the heat to rise a little later than usual. It’s all about making your system work with your lifestyle, not against it.

Spot Trouble Early

While planning your heating schedule, pay attention to anything unusual, like strange noises, cold spots in rooms, or your heater turning on and off too often. These are signs you may need furnace repair or even full heating repair. Fixing small problems early can prevent you from later facing a big (and expensive) breakdown.

Service Hero often helps homeowners avoid emergencies by catching these issues during regular maintenance.

Keep Pets and Plants in Mind

If you have pets or indoor plants, remember they also need a comfortable temperature. While you might be okay with a chilly room when you're away, some pets need warmth to stay healthy. You can find a middle ground by lowering the temperature, but not so much that your furry friends or houseplants suffer.

If your heating system struggles to keep the house warm even after you set a schedule, you might be due for a tune-up or AC repair to keep things running smoothly year-round.

Seasonal Check-Ins

As the seasons change, so should your heating schedule. What works in the fall might not be enough in the winter. Revisit your plan every few months to make sure it makes sense. If anything feels off or your system starts acting up, Service Hero can give it a quick look to keep things on track.

And don’t forget—spring and summer are great times to schedule an AC repair check-up. That way, you’re not scrambling when the heat hits.

Ready to Stay Warm and Save?

Suppose you want a home that’s warm when you need it and energy-smart when you don’t. Start by creating your personalized heating schedule today. Small changes in timing and temperature can help you avoid unexpected heating repairs and keep your family comfortable all season long.

Need help fine-tuning your system or checking if your furnace is working right? Service Hero is just a call away! They’ll help you stay on track, save money, and keep your home running like a champ.
