Energy saving tips to keep your house cold/warm:
- Use duct tape to inexpensively repair any cracks, holes, or separations at joints in door duct work.
- Weather-strip or caulk any cracks or gaps around doors and windows.
- Keep all equipment, vents and chimneys clean and in good working order.
- Change filters as often as necessary (generally once a month).
- Remove dust/lint from return air grills and warm air outlets.
- Use the sun to provide heat by opening drapes in the daytime and closing them at night.
- Since warm air rises, direct warm air flow across the floor when possible. Don't block radiators with drapes, furniture or other obstacles.
- Install a properly sealed glass front firescreen or close the damper when fireplace is not in use.
- Don't go in and out of doors unnecessarily.
- Install a humidifier to add moisture and comfort if the air in your home is unusually dry.
- In a home that is built offgrade, close crawl space vents in the winter and reopen them in the summer.
- Consider natural gas space heaters as alternatives or additions to central heating, as well as for emergency heating. They're practical and economical when you want to heat certain rooms but not the whole house, and they don't require electricity to operate.
- In winter, keep the thermostat at 68 degrees during the day and in the 60 to 65 degree range at night. Keep it at 55 when you're away from home for several days.
