Duncanville FAQ

Does turning the heat off completely during the day save money?+

Not usually, in most cases it costs more to reheat a home from a significantly colder starting point than it does to maintain a modest, consistent setback. A moderate, deliberate temperature reduction tends to work better than an extreme swing.

What's the single most impactful thing I can do for my heating bill?+

A proper seasonal tune-up before the cold season, combined with addressing any known duct leaks, tends to have the most direct, measurable impact of the options available, since both address the system's actual efficiency rather than just usage habits.
