HVAC systems account for up to 40-60% of the total energy consumed by homes and businesses. While the model of the unit, as well as the quality of installation, play a big role in its energy-efficiency, the condition of the HVAC also greatly affects your energy bills.
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.
Overall, It was a very good experience with the Service Hero team. I was able to schedule an appointment late in the night. They are truly 24x7. 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!
When your HVAC isn't working properly, it has to work harder than it should and often performs less than it can. This can skyrocket your electric bill.
In this brief article brought to you by Service Hero, we explore what can go wrong, why struggling HVAC systems drain so much energy, and what you can do about it. If you’d rather consult an HVAC service professional in Anaheim, CA directly, then contact Service Hero to get in touch.

One of the most common reasons HVAC systems struggle is a dirty air filter. Air filters are meant to collect dust, dirt, and allergens to keep your indoor air clean… but when they become too clogged, your HVAC system has to push harder to move air. This uses more electricity.
Filters should be replaced once per season, but remember that a filter that should last three months may clog sooner if you have pets, dust, or high usage. It’s easy to check the air filters, and Service Hero is here to help if you need assistance.
Your HVAC system distributes hot or cold air through ducts in your walls and ceilings. If these ducts are blocked, damaged, or poorly sealed, then treated air escapes before reaching your rooms. Your system then has to work longer to compensate for this wasted air.
Leaky and blocked ducts often go unnoticed for years, and they’re some of the most common issues we find during a service visit. Sealing or repairing ductwork can bring your energy bills back under control.
If you rely on an air conditioner or heat pump, then you ought to know that refrigerant is essential. It absorbs heat from your home and releases it outdoors. When refrigerant is low (typically due to a leak) your AC can’t cool efficiently, so it cycles longer and uses more energy.
Please note that simply refilling refrigerant is like putting a bandage on a gushing wound. Fixing this problem requires a targeted AC repair followed by topping the refrigerant.
A faulty thermostat can trick your HVAC system into running when it doesn’t need to. If the thermostat is out of calibration, placed in direct sunlight, or malfunctioning, then it may communicate the wrong temperature and keep the system running longer than necessary.
Sometimes, recalibrating the thermostat solves the problem. Other times, replacing it with a programmable or smart model is wiser as these offer greater energy-efficiency and control.
Sometimes the problem isn't just maintenance; it's age. HVAC systems typically last 15-20 years. After that, they become significantly less efficient.
Newer HVAC systems use advanced technology that use less electricity while providing better cooling and heating. If your system is over 20 years old, then upgrading to a modern model could slash your energy bills by 20-40%.
