Ways To Reduce Heating Costs

Furnace
The furnace or boiler is the largest energy user in most homes.

•If health permits, keep thermostat at 68°F or below.
•Lower thermostat at night and when you're gone (55°F lowest setting).
•Check the furnace filter once a month during the heating season. Change or clean when dirty.
•Have a professional tune-up of your heating system every other year.
•Replace your older, 60% efficient furnace with one of at least 90% efficiency.
