Your furnace or boiler is a large energy user. If you are interested in reducing your heating costs, consider the following:
· If health permits, keeping your thermostat at 20oC or below
· Lowering your thermostat at night and when no one’s home
· Checking the furnace filter once a month during the heating season (change or clean when dirty)
· Having a professional tune-up of your heating system at least every other year
· Replacing your older furnace with a higher efficiency model
· Replacing worn or torn weatherstripping so that heat does not escape through doorways or windows
Reducing heating costs is important in nearly every budget. Following some or all of the above tips will help you to better balance your budget.
