Red Oak FAQ

What thermostat setting actually saves the most money in summer?+

There's no single universal number, since comfort tolerance varies by household, but a consistent, moderate setting paired with ceiling fans for circulation tends to perform better on your bill than an aggressively low setting the system struggles to maintain.

Does closing vents in unused rooms save money?+

Not usually, and it can work against you. Most residential systems aren't designed to handle a significant number of closed vents, and doing so can increase static pressure and strain on the system rather than actually saving energy.

Is this guide relevant for Red Oak homes in Ellis County?+

Yes, this applies to homes throughout Ellis County, including Red Oak. If you'd like this looked at for your specific address, call (817) 935-8540 and mention your ZIP code.
