Tips to keep heat in your home and save you some money
Clean out filters
Clean furnace filters regularly during the heating season and follow manufacturers’ recommendations for replacing filters. Forced-air furnace filters trap dirt and dust, clean the air you breathe, and help the furnace operate more safely and efficiently.
Only heat common parts of the home
By heating using a portable heater. Let the rest of the house stay at a lower temperature.
Close drafts
Keep doors and windows closed and block all gaps, cracks and openings to the outdoors. Keep woodstove and fireplace dampers and fireplace doors closed when not in use.
