5 Things you can do to save money on your heating bill…
- Clean
your furnace and change your filters.
Clean systems run much more efficiently than dirty one. Find your filter and change it.
- Use your ceiling fan. Reversing the direction of your fans in the
winter will help circulate warm air through your house.
- Keep your shades up and your
blinds open during the day. Take
advantage of that natural daylight and solar heating to add warmth to your
home.
- Install
and use a programmable thermostat.
Use it to lower the temperature of your house when you are away and/or
sleeping. Good news here - it's not the
hardest DIY project on the market. You
can do it!
- Update your insulation. I bet you need to. No really, your insulation needs work. Yes you. Insulation. Work. Blow in some new or get foam insulation, saves you money year 'round.
BONUS - Turn
it off. If you aren't using it, shut
it down.
