Energy & Cost Saving HEATING TIPS:

• Set your thermostat as low as you can find comfortable.

• Make sure that warm air registers, baseboard heaters, or radiators are not blocked by furniture, carpeting or drapes.

• Place heat-resistant radiator reflectors between exterior walls and the radiators.

• Turn off kitchen, bath, and ventilating fans as soon as they have done their job (so they don't remove any more heated or cooled air than is necessary).

• Keep draperies and shades open on south-facing windows during the heating season to allow sunlight in.  Close them at night to reduce heat losses.

• Close off unoccupied rooms, and turn down the heating for these rooms.

• Add insulation to heating system ductwork that is in cold basements or attic spaces.

• Use duct tape to seal ductwork that leaks hot air at joints, etc. (use UL approved tape that will last longer).

• Add insulation above the ceiling, inside walls, and beneath floors.

• Add caulking and weather-stripping.

• Install storm windows, insulating shutters, or drapes.

• Install storm or insulating doors.

• If you use electricity for heating, consider installing a heat pump.

• Install an air-tight wood stove.

• Convert to an energy-efficient oil or gas furnace.

• Consider a solar heating system.
