Top Furnace Tips
1. Set your thermostat at your comfort level and then Forget you have one.
It takes less energy to heat air 4-5 degrees than it does to heat air 8-10
degrees.
2. Help your furnace to breath easy and work effectively, clean or replace
filters on furnaces once a month.
3. Clean warm-air registers, baseboard
heaters, and radiators as needed; make sure they’re not blocked
by furniture, carpeting, or drapes.
4. Place heat-resistant radiator reflectors between exterior walls and the
radiators.
5. Use kitchen, bath, and other
ventilating fans wisely; in just 1 hour, these fans can pull out a houseful
of warmed or cooled air. Turn fans off as soon as they have done the job.
6. Keep draperies and shades open on south-facing windows during the heating
season to allow sunlight to enter
your home; close them at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold
windows.
7. Select energy-efficient equipment when you buy new heating equipment.
