Winters in Ohio can be tough, especially when heating costs rise year after year. One Cincinnati family living near Anderson Township reached out to Bassett Services after noticing their furnace was running nonstop — yet their energy bills were still climbing. Here’s how our team diagnosed the problem, implemented solutions, and helped them enjoy a warmer home with lower winter heating costs.
The Problem: Rising Bills and Uneven Heat
The Johnson family had lived in their Cincinnati home for over 15 years. Recently, they noticed:
- Heating bills had increased 30% compared to the previous winter.
- Some rooms stayed chilly even when the furnace ran constantly.
- The furnace was making loud cycling noises and struggling to keep up.
They called Bassett Services for help, concerned about both comfort and cost heading into another cold Ohio winter.
Our Inspection Process
Our licensed HVAC technicians performed a complete furnace and system inspection, which revealed:
- A 15-year-old furnace running at less than 70% efficiency.
- Dirty filters and clogged ducts reducing airflow.
- Outdated thermostat settings that kept the system running longer than necessary.
- Air leaks around windows and doors causing heat loss.
The system was working overtime but wasting energy at every step.
The Solutions We Recommended
To get the Johnsons’ comfort and costs under control, we proposed a combination of immediate repairs, upgrades, and energy-saving adjustments:
- New High-Efficiency Furnace Installation – Installed a modern unit with 96% efficiency, cutting wasted energy.
- Duct Cleaning & Sealing – Restored airflow and eliminated leaks that were costing them comfort and money.
- Smart Thermostat Upgrade – Allowed precise scheduling and reduced unnecessary run times.
- Weatherproofing Advice – Recommended simple caulking and insulation fixes to reduce drafts.
The Results: Comfort Restored, Costs Reduced
Within the first month, the Johnson family noticed a big difference:
- Rooms that used to feel cold were now evenly heated.
- Their first winter utility bill after installation was 25% lower than the previous year.
- The furnace ran quietly and required less frequent cycling.
- The smart thermostat gave them control even when away from home.
They were thrilled — not only with the cost savings but also with the improved comfort of their home.
