Holiday HVAC Tip #3: Turn down the heat! If you’re cooking for the holidays, you are guaranteed to have your oven on for extended periods of time. Because your oven will be running so much, it will actually be providing some heat to your home. You can even keep the oven door open after cooking and let your oven heat the space during and after cooking. This means that your furnace won’t be needed to run as much, so feel free to turn your furnace down a few degrees since your oven can make up for the extra heat needed.
