HEATING TIPS TO SAVE YOU MONEY

Taking a few maintenance steps before winter can save you substantial money during the heating season. 

• Schedule an annual inspection of your heating system.
• Have heating ducts inspected and cleaned, if needed. 
• Clean and replace filters on manufacturer’s recommended schedule.
• Lower your thermostat 4-5 degrees while sleeping or when house is unoccupied.
• Check your chimney and make sure your chimney damper is closed when not used.
• Inspect weather-stripping on doors and windows, including garage doors.
• Clean your gutters and ridge vents to prevent standing (freezing) water. 
• Plug gaps around pipes, ducts, fans, and vents that go from unheated into heated spaces. 
• Check for leaks in an unfinished basement or crawl space and add insulation to basement walls. Close foundation vents in crawl space. 
• Check smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
