Energy Saving Tips on Heating your House

*Thermostats: Ensure that you are making efficient usage of your thermostat.
*Avoid air leakage: Make sure your house is completely sealed and insulated, this will keep your heating system from working harder.
*Make small changes inside your house: Opening the drapes during the day, sunlight will help warm your house. Small changes in your day to day life will result in more efficient heating.
*Carry out regular maintenance: This saves energy and helps prevent recurring costs. Hire a contractor at least once a year to look over your heating system.
Replace: If your system is older than 8 - 10 years, think about changing it to an efficient Energy Star unit.
