As desert natives, we understand those chilly temperatures in Arizona can drop fast. They sneak up without warning and make your entire house feel colder than you’d like. Before running to the thermostat, try these five tips to keep you warm and cozy so you’re not in for a shock on your next utility bill.
Seal Those Drafty Areas
Even the latest and greatest HVAC system can’t hold up against those sneaky drafty spots around doors, windows, and attic areas. Stop and do a quick walkthrough before you turn up the heat.
- Feel for cold air sneaking in around windows and doors
- Double-check the weather stripping (it can dry out and crack in AZ fast!)
- Cover any large gaps you find with door sweeps or caulk
Let the Sun Do It’s Thing
We have a secret weapon here in Arizona: sunshine. Try opening the blinds on the sunny side of your house during the day to let in some of that natural heat. Make sure to close them at night to trap the warmth inside.
Pro Tip: Pair this trick with a programmable thermostat, and you will stay warm and cozy around the clock!Schedule a Heater Tune-Up Before The First Chilly Night Settles In
Your home will heat much faster and easier with a clean and well-tuned system. During a routine tune-up, our technicians:
- Clean coils

Add or Upgrade Your Attic Insulation
You might not know it, but your insulation could be outdated, compressed or installed unevenly. That allows for warm air to escape directly through the attic. Causing your heater to run longer and harder to achieve the desired temperature.
Owens Corning insulation (yes, the one with the Pink Panther) is the most efficient in:
- Keeping warm/cold air in our out (depending on the season)
- Reducing energy bills
- Helping your HVAC system last longer
