Tips for saving energy in Heating
1 Check the filters in your warm air heating system monthly and replace or clean them when they become dirty. Have your heating system checked periodically by a licensed professional.
2 Storm windows and doors are big energy and money savers. They can reduce heating costs by as much as 15% by preventing warm air from escaping to the outside.
3 The many small openings in a home can add up to big heat losses.
4 Letting sunlight in by opening curtains, blinds and shades over windows facing the sun helps keep your home warm and reduces heating needs.
5 Dry air makes you feel colder than moist air at the same temperature. Maintaining home humidity will produce personal comfort at a lower thermostat setting and save money. Shallow pans of water on radiator tops or near warm air vents, or a room humidifier, will help raise humidity levels.
5 Keeping your heating thermostat at the lowest temperature comfortable for you will save on heating costs.
